Bone & Ca - Trap-5b®

Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd. has been a leading company in-vitro diagnostics area over the decades. Our trusted relationship with key opinion leaders in this field has been creating an invaluable platform for our clinical development program of our unique diagnostic test kits.
Our Osteolinks® TRAP-5b® test kit is such an example, and is raising keen interest among medical professionals as an excellent IVD test kit, which enables them to specifically quantify blood TRACP-5b (Tartrate Resistant Acid Phosphatase-5b), a highly sensitive bone absorption marker.

We will continue our focus on the development of IVD test kits for Bone and Ca metabolism.

Rapicheck® H-FABP & Liblia® H-FABP

H-FABP (Heart-type Fatty Acid-Binding Protein) is a cytoplasmic protein located in myocardial cells and easily leaks into blood stream by cell injury. We developed immunological assay kits for H-FABP which permit early diagnosis of myocardial infarction.

We currently offer Rapicheck® H-FABP (immunochromatography, qualitative), and Liblia® H-FABP (latex agglutination turbidimetry, quantitative).

Using a series of our proprietary antibodies against FABP family proteins, we established quantitation reagent for I-FABP (Intestinal Fatty Acid Binding Protein) and have been developing I-FABP as a biomarker for small intestine diseases.

Our Expertise in establishing antibodies and immunoassay system has been our driving force for developing new biomarkers.
