  • Therefore no cross reactions
  • Separate detection of IgG and IgM antibodies
  • No RF absorption necessary for IgM determination
  • Use of single strips possible

Safe and reliable

Fully automatic processing, software-based evaluation and connection to the laboratory information system possible

Flexible and compatible

Combination of all Mikrogen ELISA possible - uniform processing and interchangeable reagents

High Standard

CE mark: The recomWell Treponema tests meet the high standard of the EC Directive 98/79/EC for in vitro diagnostic medical devices.
