Acute pancreatitis is a serious disease in which 20-30%
of patients may develop severe pancreatitis with up
to 40% mortality. As treatment is more likely to succeed
if initiated early, rapid diagnosis of acute pancreatitis
is vital.
Effective and Easy

sample analysis
- Novel acute pancreatitis screening
method
Actim™ Pancreatitis is an immunochromatography
dipstick test based on monoclonal antibodies detecting
trypsinogen-2 from urine. Trypsinogen-2 is a more reliable
marker for acute pancreatitis than amylase as its levels
stay elevated for days or even weeks, while amylase
levels start to decline after 1-3 days. This specific
and sensitive test can rule out acute pancreatitis
with at least 99% certainty, thus allowing patients
with other conditions to be correctly diagnosed sooner.
The accurate screening is easy to perform and enables
patients really at risk to undergo further testing
procedures as early as possible.
