Understanding one’s disease protection begins with confidently knowing one’s antibody status
Inspired by the inventive ways our Luminex Partners benefit healthcare, we spotlight one of our newest Partners, ImmunoProfile®. Founded by two veterans in the medical devices industry, ImmunoProfile® offers an IgG serology test panel to easily learn your antibody protection level to each of 11 different infectious diseases. The pathogens they test antibodies for include Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, H. Influenza B, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis, Varicella Zoster/Chicken Pox, and Polio. One of the advantages of this company’s testing service is the convenience it offers customers through online ordering and an at-home specimen collection kit that utilizes a single finger-prick blood sample. Through the testing of dried blood spots, ImmunoProfile can then evaluate antibody levels of each of the 11 different infectious diseases, all of which are vaccine preventable according to the CDC.
Reliable Results with ImmunoProfile’s Technology
ImmunoProfile’s goal is to “empower people everywhere to protect themselves from infectious diseases,” achieving this by placing the power into the hands of private individuals through an easily accessible affordable system with the convenience of at-home testing. Using the FDA-cleared Luminex technology, the antibody test results are evaluated against World Health Organization (WHO) established standards. Rather than having to travel to a medical facility, customers can obtain their highly accurate and affordable results through a secure and private online portal after they’ve provided their at-home finger-prick blood specimen and mailed it in the pre-addressed UPS envelope to the company’s CLIA/CAP-certified lab. The test is available in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. and HSA/FSA payments are accepted.
The Power of xMAP® Technology in Multiplexing Assays
As part of a growing number of Luminex Partners offering testing services to the public, ImmunoProfile seeks to advance healthcare by applying its business model to a science that is both accessible and affordable. And what is the foundation behind this science? xMAP® Technology. One of the many advantages of Luminex’s multiplexing platform is that it allows users to simultaneously detect up to 500 targets in a single well, providing customized flexibility for both proteomic and genomic assays.
Advancing Healthcare with Innovative Testing Solutions
Partners like ImmunoProfile demonstrate how xMAP Technology is a reliable and well-established multiplexing technology that has performed successfully throughout many markets, including RUO, clinical diagnostics, non-diagnostic at-home sample collection, and others. As with ImmunoProfile, understanding one’s disease protection level begins with confidently knowing one’s antibody status.
