HumaFIA
HumaFIA is a semi-automated immunoassay system designed to deliver on-the-spot, lab-quality results using advanced immunofluorescence technology. It enables rapid testing for cardiac, inflammatory, thyroid, and other essential parameters within minutes. Compact and portable, it is ideal for use in clinics, laboratories, and emergency departments. With its high sensitivity comparable to central lab chemiluminescence tests, HumaFIA ensures reliable and accurate diagnostic performance whenever and wherever needed.
- On-the-spot results in lab quality with immunofluorescence technology
- Cardiac, inflammatory, thyroid, and other parameters in just a few minutes
- Compact and portable for clinics, laboratories, or emergency departments
- Highest sensitivity comparable to central lab chemiluminescence tests
Key Diagnostics On-Site
No time loss, immediate patient care
Why is the demand for acute point-of-care parameters rising?
An aging population and unhealthy lifestyles lead to increased demand for cardiovascular markers, chronic disease management, and inflammation monitoring.
Every minute counts when it comes to acute parameters to avoid long-term damage
and save lives. The solution lies in easy-to-use devices that deliver results within minutes, eliminating laboratory submissions, saving time, and enabling immediate treatment options
On-the-spot results in lab quality
HumaFIA’s on-the-spot testing ensures high sensitivity through innovative immunofluorescence technology, comparable to laboratory methods like chemiluminescence. It doesn’t require laboratory infrastructure, is compact,
and delivers quick results.
Laboratories and diagnostic centers
Extended diagnostic capabilities: With single sealed, pre-calibrated tests,
laboratories can offer a broad range of on-site diagnostics.
Reduced turnaround times: Benefits for patients and doctors alike.
General practitioners and specialists
Immediate decisions: Enables rapid, diagnosis-based decisions for targeted patient care.
Crucial for remote areas: No waiting for sent samples; bring the lab to the patient.
Increased patient trust: Quick and reliable on-site diagnosis reduce follow-up appointments
Hospital wards, particularly in diabetology or pediatrics
Reduced diagnosis and treatment times: Critical in pediatrics departments
Cost savings: Minimizes the need for expensive lab tests and referrals.
Versatile use: The same device platform can be used in different departments to
optimize patient care.
Emergency medicine and rescue services
Quick test results: Available directly on-site.
Fast decision-making: Important for first aid and transportation.
Mobility and flexibility: Compact, portable systems for easy use during operations
Troponin I, PCT, Thyroids and More
Key diagnostics directly from whole blood
Proven strip technology: cost-efficient and tailored to your needs
- Ready-to-use test cassettes for single-sample testing – pay only for what you need
- Barcode on test cassettes includes all test information, preventing duplicate readings
- Test cassettes can be stored at room temperature with no cooling required
- Availability of control materials for each parameter to ensure result reliability
Comprehensive testing options with quantitative results you can rely on
Diagnose thyroid disorders, heart attack and cardiac insufficiency in just 15 minutes.
Acute myocardial infarction (heart attack)
- The highest risk of mortality occurs in the first few hours after symptoms start
- Rapid quantitative diagnosis and treatment are essential
HumaFIA Troponin I supports early diagnosis
with an extended measurement range and low
detection limit (LOD = 0.02 ng/ml)
Cardiac insufficiency
- Accurate diagnostics and continuous monitoring are essential for acute and chronic conditions
- NT-proBNP values below 300 pg/mL virtually rule out heart failure, further examinations are often not necessary
HumaFIA NT-proBNP is a diagnostic and
prognostic marker with an extended linearity
range of up to 40,000 pg/ml
Thyroid disorders
- The thyroid gland plays a key role in regulating metabolism, energy production, and overall body function.
- Early detection through diagnostic tests can help identify thyroid disorders before they cause serious complications. Hypo/Hyperthyroidism
HumaFIA TSH, T3, fT3, T4 and fT4 tests provide
the full panel to assess thyroid function, activity,
autoimmune and general health conditions.

Innovative Immunofluorescence Technology
Fast, precise and reliable
Results with high clinical relevance
- High sensitivity: The method is extremely sensitive and can detect very small amounts of the analyte
- High specificity: The use of specific antibodies and fluorochromes ensures high selectivity for the target analyte
- Minimized interferences: Temporal separation of the fluorescence signal from the background signal enhances accuracy
- Excellent stability and strong signals with Europium Eu3+
What is Time-Resolved Fluorescence Technology (TR-FIA)?
This technology uses fluorescence signals to determine the presence and quantity of an analyte in a sample. Unlike conventional methods, time-resolved fluorescence (TR) measures the signal with a delay
This temporal separation reduces background noise and nonspecific fluorescence signals, as background fluorescence is much shorter-lived than the innovative Europium fluorescence,
which is linked to the analyte.
By time resolution, the shorter-lived background fluorescence
is excluded, allowing only the longer-lasting signal of
Europium fluorescence to be measured. .
Fluorescence immunoassay principle
1. Fluorescence labeling
A specific antibody is conjugated with a fluorochrome, which emits light upon suitable excitation for analyte detection.
2. Binding to the analyte
The labeled antibody binds specifically to the analyte in the sample.
3. Excitation and emission
The sample is exposed to light of a specific wavelength, causing the fluorochrome to emit light at a different wavelength.
4. Time-resolved measurement
Background fluorescence and nonspecific signals are minimized, resulting in an increased sensitivity and accuracy.
