The detection of ANCA autoantibodies is helfpful for the early diagnosis of associated diseases such as granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA).

Inova Diagnostics research and development vice-president Michael Mahler said: "Inova Diagnostics is pleased to launch these newly FDA cleared ANCA assays, expanding the number of assays available on NOVA View to three.

"Inova Diagnostics has a 28 year history of providing laboratories with innovative products required for autoimmune diagnosis. NOVA Lite DAPI ANCA (Ethanol) and NOVA Lite DAPI ANCA (Formalin) Kits continue this tradition.

"These kits will bring efficiency and reliability to this traditionally labor intensive and subjective field of diagnostic immunology."

"These kits represent a breakthrough that fundamentally changes the way ANCA IFA is performed in diagnostic laboratories, and will bring efficiency and reliability to this traditionally labor intensive and subjective field of diagnostic immunology."
