IMMY Fungal Diagnostic Assays
These assays specialise in rapid, easy-to-use diagnostics for invasive fungal infections.
| Assay Type | Target | Specimen | Purpose | Key Benefits |
| Immunodiffusion (ID) | Antibodies to Histoplasma, Blastomyces, etc. | Serum | Confirmatory serology | High specificity, simple setup |
| Complement Fixation (CF) | Antibodies to Histoplasma, Coccidioides, etc. | Serum | Quantitative antibody titers | Tracks disease progression, complements ID |
| CrAg® LFA | Cryptococcus capsular antigen | Serum, CSF, plasma, blood | Rapid antigen detection | High sensitivity, 10-min results, no equipment |
All products have room temperature storage, which simplifies logistics and shelf-life management.
This makes them ideal for decentralised labs and point-of-care deployment — especially the CrAg LFA, which requires no refrigeration, no pretreatment, and minimal setup.
