Don't let ANA IFA testing spook you

Oct 28, 2022

Eliminate the scary number of negative resultsin just two clicks with ZEUS dIFine®

As the rise in autoimmunity cases increases1, so does the amount of antinuclear antibody testing (ANA) by indirect immunofluorescent assay (IFA). The American College of Rheumatology considers ANA IFA testing using HEp-2 cells the gold standard for ANA screening. Beyond the negative and positive results, ANA pattern determinations provide direction for additional testing to assist the physician to reach a diagnosis.

 

Focus on the positives and lave the scary negatives behind 

 

Typically, during ANA screening, a large proportion of results are negative.  ZEUS dIFine saves you time by quickly allowing you to batch, review and validate negative results allowing you to focus your attention on the positives.

Two clicks to batch and validate negative results

  1. Select Negative Filter to review negative wells
  2. Validate all negative results
