Dear mailbase,

I’d like to hear from any labs running this assay for faecal calprotectin on their main chemistry analysers. We are about to start an evaluation on our Roche Cobas 502 and would like to allay concerns of probe blockages, sample contamination etc. Do you have any additional wash steps in place or mask all other chemistry on the platform while running a batch?

Many thanks in advance,

Nicola
