ichroma CEA – Carcinoembryonic Antigen Test Cartridge

Key Features

• Quantitative CEA measurement: Provides precise detection of CEA levels for oncology monitoring.

• Fast results: Delivers results within minutes with ichroma analyzers.

• User-friendly format: Disposable cartridges with simple sample application.

• High analytical performance: Reliable fluorescence-based signal detection.

• Small sample volume: Requires minimal serum or plasma.

Clinical Applications

• Monitoring colorectal cancer progression or recurrence

• Evaluation of other CEA-producing cancers, such as gastric, pancreatic, lung, and breast cancers

• Assessing treatment response during chemotherapy or surgical follow-up

• Supporting diagnosis when used alongside imaging and clinical findings

Principle of the Test

The ichroma CEA assay operates on a fluorescence immunoassay principle:

1. The sample is added to the test cartridge.

2. CEA in the sample binds to fluorescently labeled anti-CEA antibodies.

3. The ichroma analyzer measures fluorescence intensity, which correlates with CEA concentration.
