FITkit is an immunological test for measuring natural rubber latex (NRL) allergens from a variety of rubber products, such as gloves.

Description

FITkit is a method for quantification of the major NRL specific allergens: Hev b 1, Hev b 3, Hev b 5 and Hev b 6.02[1]. These tests are based on the enzyme immunometric assay technique and use specific monoclonal antibodies developed against the clinically relevant latex allergens present in NRL products. FITkit is known also under scientific names EIA (enzymo immunoassay) or IEMA (immuno-enzymometric assay) [2].

FITkit is a trade mark of Quattromed Ltd.
