SideroTec-AsP™ Assay

The SideroTec-AsP™ assay is an ELISA that detects a urinary biomarker of infection caused by Aspergillus fumigatus, a potentially fatal fungal infection in many patients with preexisting clinical conditions such as cancer, those with organ transplants and, increasingly, COPD.

SideroTec-AsP™

The SideroTec-AsP™ is an ELISA* that enables detection of the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus responsible for Invasive Aspergillosis (IA), an infection which can prove fatal to patients with other underlying conditions including those with cancer, organ transplant patients or anyone who may be immunocompromised. It is now recognised that many patients with COPD also have invasive pulmonary aspergillosis but remain undetected.

During the Covid pandemic, IA caused up to 30% of all deaths in ICU.

Coming Soon: SideroTec RAsP

SideroTec-RAsP™ is a rapid lateral flow test for direct use with urine samples and will be coming soon*.

*Both tests are currently for Research Use Only. Developed by Professor Sean Doyle at Maynooth University, Ireland
