Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL)

Target Introduction:

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), also known as lipocalin-2 (LCN2), is a protein belonging to the lipocalin superfamily. Initially identified in activated neutrophils as an innate antibacterial factor, NGAL is also produced by various other cell types, including kidney tubule cells, in response to injuries. The increased production and release of NGAL from tubular cells following harmful stimuli may serve a self-defensive purpose, activating specific iron-dependent pathways. This mechanism may also underlie NGAL's role in promoting kidney growth and differentiation.

Relationship with Related Diseases:

• Acute Kidney Injury (AKI): NGAL levels can predict the development of AKI following treatments that may be detrimental to the kidneys.
• Unstable Nephropathies: NGAL levels can predict the acute worsening of unstable nephropathies.
• Chronic Renal Diseases: Evidence suggests that NGAL is involved in the pathophysiology of chronic renal diseases such as polycystic kidney disease and glomerulonephritis. NGAL levels correlate with the severity of renal impairment.

Application in IVD:

NGAL is a promising biomarker in clinical nephrology. It can be used in in vitro tests such as immunoturbidimetric assays (IT) and fluorescence immunoassays (FIA). NGAL is used in rapid tests such as test strip format. Performance indicators of the test strip include appearance, migration speed, minimum detection limit, linear range, accuracy, repeatability, inter-batch precision, and stability.

Technology Transfer

Technology transfer and customization

For research institutions and growing enterprises, especially those in the early stages of development, we offer a comprehensive suite of mature and stable production process technology transfer, along with relevant process documentation. 

Additionally, we can tailor transformation production processes to align with diverse customer requirements and market needs. 

This approach not only expedites the R&D and production process optimization timeline but also significantly reduces time and capital investment for our clients.

Expert lectures

The course will be led by seasoned industry experts, covering a range of topics including immunochromatography knowledge, theoretical explanations of process flows, and hands-on experimental operations. It will systematically address and analyze technical challenges faced by customers in their R&D and production processes, offering practical solutions. 

Additionally, the course will feature demonstrations and practical operation sessions focused on immunochromatography equipment that is of particular interest to participants.

Process

The process unfolds as follows: 

The customer outlines their requirements -> we collaborate to explore feasible solutions -> the customer settles the fee -> based on the provided solution, the customer either attends on-site training or receives remote guidance -> should production issues arise, we dispatch experts to the customer's site to offer on-site guidance and resolve the problems.
