The achievement expands global access to comprehensive APS testing on Aptiva and further strengthens its growing portfolio of assays, which also includes testing for Celiac Disease and Connective Tissue Diseases (CTD). Together, these assays provide laboratories with a more comprehensive solution for autoimmune testing and patient evaluation.
The Aptiva APS IgA Reagent utilizes Aptiva’s particle-based multi-analyte technology (PMAT) for the semi-quantitative determination of anti-cardiolipin (aCL) and anti-beta 2 glycoprotein 1 (aβ₂GP1) IgA antibodies in human serum. When used alongside the Aptiva APS IgG and IgM Reagents, and in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings, the IgA assay provides additional diagnostic information that may aid in the diagnosis of both primary and secondary APS.
