It features sensitivity and specificity while diagnosing SLE and it maintains a strong correlation with parameters hinting SLE such as SLEDAI, C3, C4, and total complement activity.

“The addition of QUANTA Flash dsDNA and Jo-1 assays expands the BIO-FLASH CTD menu and will allow laboratories and physicians to receive accurate and timely patient results.”

It also displays correlation to the Farr assay with a quick and safe result.

Monash University, Melbourne, Australia Professor Ban-Hock Toh said: “Anti-dsDNA antibodies measured with QUANTA Flash on the fully automated BIO-FLASH analyzer show very high agreement to Farr assay, which is often considered the reference method in spite of the labor intensive procedure and the presence of radioactivity.

“The QUANTA Flash dsDNA assay is a viable alternative for labs currently using the Farr technology.”
