Scientific Poster - A fully Automated Method That Combines CSF Concentrations of Lumipulse G β-Amyloid 1-42 and 1-40 Into a Numerical Ratio
Oct 14, 2022
Study Objective
The aim of this study was to analytically verify the Lumipulse G
β-Amyloid Ratio (1-42/1-40) assay and evaluate performance of
the assay in adult patients presenting with cognitive impairment
who are being evaluated for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other
causes of cognitive decline.
