IMPORTANT COMMUNICATION: STATUS OF IFI INFECTIOUS ANTIBODY REAGENTS

 IMPORTANT COMMUNICATION: STATUS OF IFI INFECTIOUS ANTIBODY REAGENTS

Dear colleagues and collaborators, 

We inform you about an important update regarding the availability of certain tests and reagents for the Indirect Immunofluorescence (IFI) technique that we have been performing for the detection of infectious disease antibodies.

Recently, we have experienced changes in our supply chain due to circumstances beyond our control and unfortunately, our official supplier of reagents for the IFI technique has permanently ceased production of the reagents.

As a result, some of the tests we offer will be temporarily unavailable or may experience changes in availability. 

We would like to assure you that we are working diligently to minimize any inconvenience this may cause and are exploring all available options to restore the availability of these tests as soon as possible.

We would therefore like to keep you updated on the current situation arising from this event;
