| | Product Description | |
| There is new hope for managing osteoporosis. A laboratory blood test, called Ostase, which can accurately measure how well bone is responding to hormone replacement therapy. The test measures the amount of a specific bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP) in the blood and gives doctors a clear indication of whether the therapy is successful in reducing bone loss. It is the only blood test available in the U.S. to aid in the management of postmenopausal osteoporosis.
Traditional Ostase helps document the success of therapy after only six months. Bone mineral density tests, on the other hand, require a minimum of twelve to twenty-four months on therapy to detect changes in bone. With Ostase, you can see accurate, measurable results in less than half the time required of bone mineral density testing. - Quantitative measurement of bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP), a biochemical marker of one metabolism, in human serum and plasma
- Time to first result: 30 minutes
- Calibration stability: 42 days
- Analytical senstivity: 0.1 µg/L
- Broad dynamic range: 0.1 - 120 µg/L
- Correlation with the Hybritech® Tandem® -R Ostase: Access Ostase = 0.9985 x Tandem -R Ostase - 0.1135 (n=411; r=0.9823)
