LEUCOGNOST^™ EST

Detection of the alpha naphthyl acetate esterase reaction in leukocytes

LEUCOGNOST EST is a cytochemical reagent kit for the diagnosis of leukemia. Esterase reactions with different substrates facilitate differentiation between myeloblastic and monoblastic leukemia. Apart from the naphthol-AS-D-chloroacetate esterase reaction, whose reliability is comparable with that of the peroxidase reaction, the 1-naphthyl acetate esterase reaction is the most suitable for identifying monoblastic types of leukemia. It is developed and registered as CE / IVD product for applications in diagnostics.The staining kit is suffi cient for 12 stainings with up to 16 slides.
