Clinical Studies
There is a rapidly increasing amount of published evidence which underlines the clinical validity of fecal calprotectin in IBD diagnosis and monitoring. BÜHLMANN Laboratories offers the largest product portfolio in the market for calprotectin testing, which is supported by more than 100 publications.

Monitoring
