The Axis-Shield assay measures Holotranscobalamin, the bio-active form of the vitamin. Holotranscobalamin represents only 10-30% of circulating B12 but is the only form taken up and utilised by the cells of the body \u2013 the Active-B12 assay therefore gives a more accurate assessment of the body\u2019s B12 status. The use of a specific monoclonal antibody for Holotranscobalamin means that the assay does not suffer from the interference from anti-Intrinsic Factor antibodies which can be a medically serious failing of some traditional Vitamin B12 testing methods. The Axis-Shield Active-B12 assay is a standard 96-well ELISA with break-apart strips and is supplied with all required reagents, calibrators and controls. The kit is compatible with liquid-handling automates for higher throughput.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<strong>Supplier:<\/strong> Axis-Shield Diagnostics<br \/>\n<strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"avia-button avia-color-theme-color\" href=\"mailto:david.craig@alere.com\">Mail the supplier<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Active-B12 assay from Axis-Shield provides an innovative and highly accurate method for assessing Vitamin B12 status and is now available in the USA.
