Q-Plex™ Human Environmental Enteric Dysfunction (11-Plex)

We, Biotechno Labs are proud to inform you that our principal Quansys Biosciences has developed an Effective and affordable new research diagnostic tool that can measure up to 11 key biomarkers of environmental enteric dysfunction with a single test.

Quansys Biosciences and global health nonprofit PATH have collaborated to develop a multiplex diagnostic tool to accelerate the development of interventions addressing environmental enteric dysfunction (EED). Environmental Enteric Dysfunction (EED) is characterized by inflammation at mucosal sites, reduced intestinal barrier integrity, and poor absorption of nutrients. EED is common among people living in low-resource settings with high enteric-pathogen prevalence and poor sanitation. Complications related to EED include stunted growth, reduced responsiveness to vaccines, and impaired cognitive development. Children are therefore especially at risk as these severe complications increase susceptibility to other childhood diseases such as pneumonia, acute diarrhea, and malaria.

The Q-Plex™ Human Environmental Enteric Dysfunction (11-Plex) is a robust and effective laboratory-based tool for screening individuals and populations at risk of developing or currently suffering from EED in clinical research. This multiplex test simultaneously measures up to 11 biomarkers in a single sample of human serum, generating a profile of an individual’s nutritional and inflammatory biomarkers, as well as growth hormones and intestinal damage. The array provides researchers an easy-to-use and cost-effective means of generating a profile of nutritional and inflammatory biomarkers for each sample.
