ScheBo® • Pancreatic Elastase 1™ stool test

Stool test for exocrine pancreatic function testing

Pancreatic elastase 1 the gold standard for non-invasive pancreatic function testing

The ScheBo^® • Pancreatic elastase 1™ stool test is a sandwich ELISA with two monoclonal antibodies that detect human pancreatic elastase 1 with high specificity. The following applies to the detection of pancreatic elastase 1 in stool samples:

Sample material: tiny stool sample

The advantages of the ScheBo^® · Pancreatic Elastase 1^™ test:

• Recommended in various guidelines worldwide
• Gold standard for non-invasive exocrine pancreatic function testing
• High sensitivity and specificity
• Small stool sample is suffcient
• Pancreatic Elastase1 is stable during intestinal transit
• Absolutely pancreas-specific
• Uses monoclonal antibodies
• Enzyme therapy does not affect the test result
• Not affected by foodstuffs
• No special diet required
• Can be used in combination with the stool sample extraction system ScheBo^® • Master Quick Prep™

When should pancreatic elastase 1 be determined:

• Diagnosis/exclusion of pancreatic involvement in patients with gastrointestinal problems, epigastric pain, chronic inflammatory bowel disease, overweight, gallstone disease and osteoporosis
• Diagnosis/exclusion of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency caused, for example, by chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, papillary stenosis, celiac disease and diabetes
