The BÜHLMANN IBDoc® enables patients to perform quantitative calprotectin tests themselves and then use their smartphones to read the results. The CALEX® Valve allows patients to process their own samples without the need for vortex mixing, centrifuging or pipetting. The valve at the base of the device dispenses a precise amount of liquid onto the lateral flow test device. After 12 minutes the calprotectin assay result is read using the smartphone IBDoc App and the data is transmitted to the clinician via a secure web portal. ■ First IVDR marked Calprotectin Home Test ■ Quantitative Rapid Test with results between 30 - 1000µg/g ■ Correlation with other BÜHLMANN Calprotectin assays: - Quantum Blue® - fCAL ELISA - fCAL Turbo ■ Consistent results with endoscopic and histologic results.

ECCO 2018 P262 CALEX® Faecal Calprotectin Collection Kit Collection Kit Product code Description Pack Size CALEX-CAL-CK020 UKCA Marked Faecal Calprotectin Collection Kit 20 kits CALEX-CAL-CK020P UKCA Marked Direct Portal Delivery Calex Calprotectin Kit 20 kits Now CALEX patient packs are available to enable the patient to prepare the CALEX and send to the laboratory rather than a stool sample in a pot which will transform the way calprotectin testing is performed. Each kit comes discreetly packaged in a business-style envelope and includes a CALEX extraction device, easy to understand instructions, integral label (including name, date of birth, NHS number and sample collection date), and a transparent grip-seal bag for the convenient return of both the CALEX and the request form back to the laboratory or GP. The kits come in boxes of 20 and are stored at ambient until the expiry stated which is generally 12 – 18 months, so that they can be sent out to clinics and primary care in quantities and conditions that will minimise wastage. The boxes have a dispensing tally on the front to help maintain the correct level of stock within individual locations. Hospitals can either order the kits through Alpha Laboratories and send them to clinics and primary care using their existing van delivery/sample collection services, or can have the boxes sent directly to individual locations by ordering through The Alpha Portal.
