Latex particles (diameter ≥200 nm) coated with Calprotectin (CP) antibodies agglutinate when reacting with stool samples containing human calprotectin. The agglutination of latex particles is proportional to the concentration of calprotectin in the sample and can be measured by turbidimetry. The turbidimetric calprotectin is only a latex turbidimetric assay for the quantitative detection of calprotectin in stool samples. This assay is simple, widely applicable, and test results are obtained very quickly. The intended use of the test is exclusively to differentiate patients with inflammatory bowel diseases from patients with irritable bowel syndrome.
