Autoimmune diseases affect millions of people worldwide, often presenting with complex and overlapping symptoms. For clinicians and laboratories, accurate and timely diagnosis is essential—not only to improve patient outcomes but also to guide treatment strategies and reduce healthcare costs. One of the most reliable ways to achieve this is through advanced immunoassay systems that provide precise and reproducible results.
At The Science Support, we bring the best in laboratory innovation to healthcare providers in Greece, offering Thermo Fisher Scientific’s EliA™ autoimmunity solutions and Phadia™ laboratory instruments, trusted worldwide for their accuracy, reliability, and integration into clinical workflows.
Why Immunoassays Are Essential in Autoimmune Diagnostics
Autoimmune diseases are characterized by the immune system mistakenly attacking the body’s own tissues. Detecting and monitoring autoantibodies is therefore critical to diagnosis. Traditional diagnostic methods can sometimes lack the specificity or sensitivity required to differentiate between complex autoimmune conditions.
Immunoassays bridge this gap by:
- Delivering quantitative and qualitative results for autoantibodies.
- Supporting differential diagnosis between overlapping conditions.
- Ensuring reproducibility and consistency, even across large test volumes.
EliA™ Autoimmunity Solutions: Precision at Every Step
Thermo Fisher Scientific’s EliA™ assays are designed specifically for the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases. They are run on Phadia™ instruments, combining high analytical performance with seamless laboratory integration.
Key Advantages of EliA™:
- High Specificity & Sensitivity: Each test is optimized to detect clinically relevant autoantibodies with minimal cross-reactivity.
- Comprehensive Test Menu: Covering major autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), celiac disease, autoimmune thyroid disease, and more.
- Standardized & Reliable Results: Ensures comparability across laboratories worldwide.
- Automation-Ready: Fully compatible with Phadia™ instruments, streamlining workflows and reducing hands-on time.
