Overview:
We offer a full Candida panel, or single antibody testing of IgG and IgA as an add-on to our food panels.
Testing Process
Our Candida antibodies and antigen panel is a semi-quantitative ELISA analysis of Candida, IgG, IgM, and IgA antibodies specific to Candida antigen.
Specimens are tested in duplicate on ELISA platform. The antibodies, once bound to Candida antigen, are detected through spectrophotometric analysis wherein the values are directly proportional to the concentration of the analytes in the sample.
