Introduction of Fungus (1-3)-β-D-Glucan Test by Chromogenic Method

Fungus (1-3)-β-D-Glucan Test by Chromogenic Method is used for screening and diagnosis of invasive fungal infection. It is a major cell wall component of most pathogenic fungi, used as a biomarker for the diagnosis of the invasive fungal etiological agents causing fungal infections. The chromogenic method is a sensitive and rapid assay for the detection of (1-3)-β-D-Glucan in serum as well as in BAL specimens to aid in the early diagnosis of invasive fungal infections and the test result comes within 40 minutes.

Principle of Fungus (1-3)-β-D-Glucan Test by Chromogenic Method

In brief, a key principle of the chromogenic method is to reveal the presence of the analyte in a test specimen through chemically-induced visible color changes. The resulting color is then recorded by applying spectrophotometric methods to reveal the concentration of the analyte in the test sample.
