  1. Plasma phospho-tau217 for Alzheimer's disease diagnosis in primary and secondary care using a fully automated platform

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 62 out of 100. Nature medicine 2025-04-09 Biomarkers

    Global implementation of blood tests for Alzheimer's disease (AD) would be facilitated by easily scalable, cost-effective and accurate tests.

  2. Diagnostic performance of plasma p-tau217 in a memory clinic cohort using the Lumipulse automated platform

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2025-03-27 Biomarkers

    Plasma p-tau217 shows excellent results for detecting amyloid pathology at brain level in a clinical setting with an AUC of 0.95.

  3. Blood biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease with the Lumipulse automated platform: Age-effect and clinical value interpretation

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Clinica chimica acta; international journal of clinical chemistry 2024-10-22 Biomarkers

    The specific context of use might be considered to define the cut-offs of blood biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases.

  4. Evaluation of core Biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease in saliva and plasma measured by chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassays on a fully automated platform

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Scientific reports 2024-07-12 Biomarkers

    Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) core biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD), including amyloid peptide beta-42 (Aβ42), Aβ42/40 ratio, and phosphorylated tau (pTau), are precious tools for supporting AD diagnosis.

  5. Accuracy of plasma Aβ40, Aβ42, and p-tau181 to detect CSF Alzheimer's pathological changes in cognitively unimpaired subjects using the Lumipulse automated platform

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2023-10-02 Biomarkers

    Plasma biomarkers of AD using the automated Lumipulse platform show good diagnostic performance in detecting Alzheimer's pathology in cognitively unimpaired subjects.

  6. Influence of kidney function and CSF/serum albumin ratio on plasma Aβ42 and Aβ40 levels measured on a fully automated platform in patients with Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology 2023-06-07 Biomarkers

    Plasma Aβ42 and Aβ40 are critically influenced by kidney function; however, their ratio is advantageously spared from this effect.

  7. Assessment of the Concordance and Diagnostic Accuracy Between Elecsys and Lumipulse Fully Automated Platforms and Innotest

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Frontiers in aging neuroscience 2021-03-04 Biomarkers

    Manual ELISA assays are the most commonly used methods for quantification of biomarkers; however, they often show inter- and intra-laboratory variability that limits their wide use.
