Fungitell® Assay
Serum Test For (1→3)-β-D-Glucan Analysis
Fungitell® Assay
Serum Test For (1→3)-β-D-Glucan Analysis
The Gold Standard in Rapid Screening For Invasive Fungal Infection (IFI) Fungitell® is the first and the only FDA-cleared and CE marked rapid in vitro diagnostic screening test for IFI (including Candida, Aspergillus and Pneumocystis) that detects (1→3)-β-D-Glucan in serum.

Fungitell® Assay Product Information
Materials Supplied with the Kit
- 2 vials Fungitell® Reagent
- 2 vials Pyrosol® Reconstitution Buffera
- 2 vials Glucan Standard
- 2 bottles Reagent Grade Water,a 20 mL
- 2 vials Alkaline Pretreatment Solutiona
Storage Conditions
Store all reagents at 2-8°C in the dark. Reconstituted Fungitell® reagent should be stored at 2-8°C and used within 2 hours. Alternatively, reconstituted Fungitell® reagent can be frozen at -20°C for 20 days, thawed once and used.
Materials Required but not Supplied
All materials and glassware must be free of interfering glucan. Dry heat depyrogenation is effective in eliminating interfering levels of (1→3)-β-D-Glucan from glass surfaces.
Purchase supplies from a supplier that will certify the materials free of interfering glucan.

The Fungitell® assay is a highly sensitive, microplate-based test that detects (1→3)-β-D-Glucan in serum. (1→3)-β-D-Glucan is a cell wall constituent of most medically important fungi including Candida and Aspergillus.* (1→3)-β-D-Glucan is normally found at low levels in the blood of healthy humans. In at risk patients, serum (1→3)-β-D-Glucan values of at least 80 pg/mL, are highly associated with invasive fungal infection. Conversely, low levels of (1→3)-β-D-Glucan have a high negative predictive value for invasive fungal infection.
(1→3)-β-D-Glucan detection is not subject to the usual interferences. It is not suppressed by anti-fungal therapy, nor is the test cross-reactive with other polysaccharides.
