GBM
Product Description
The GBM test is a chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA), for use on IDS automated analyzers. It is used for the quantitative determination of the specific IgG antibodies directed against the Glomerular Basement Membrane (GBM), in human samples of serum or plasma (EDTA, sodium citrate).
