As a trusted laboratory manager, you understand the importance of accurate and reliable results in prenatal screening. Our B·R·A·H·M·S KRYPTOR Instruments are known for their exceptional performance, delivering reliable results with minimal interference.
For more than 20 years, UK NEQAS data are showing that PAPP-A and Free βhCG measured on B·R·A·H·M·S KRYPTOR Instruments provide consistently the lowest mean coefficient of variation (CV) and therefore the highest precision compared to competitors.1

Your benefits with the exceptional precision of the Prenatal Screening solution on KRYPTOR:
With our solution, you can minimize the risk of false positives or negatives, providing peace of mind for both you and your patients.2
In a recent publication (Jones et al, 2023), false positive results resulting from interferences were reported with PAPP-A assays from different manufacturers. Unusually low PAPP-A values (<0.15 MoM) were detected with competitor assays and samples were referred to a KRYPTOR laboratory for confirmatory analysis. In all samples, PAPP-A MoMs were higher than 0.15 MoM with B·R·A·H·M·S KRYPTOR PAPP-A assay, confirming the assay interference. Authors recommend that if unusually low PAPP-A MoM values (<0.15 MoM) are obtained from competitor PAPP-A immunoassays, results may need to be checked by another method, such as KRYPTOR, to exclude assay interference2. Choose PAPP-A on KRYPTOR for the best quality.
