An overview of R-Biopharm
test systems
The products of both departments, Clinical Diagnostics as well as Food & Feed
Analysis, have been designed and developed primarily for the immunoassay
platform. Nonetheless, today there is also a great demand for other test formats like
lateral flow tests, immunoblots, immunofluorescence assays, PCR or card tests.
RIDASCREEN®, RIDA® and PentoCheck® are world-wide registered trademarks of
R-Biopharm AG.
In Clinical Diagnostics R-Biopharm possesses many years of sound experience,
particularly in the field of infectiological stool diagnostics but also in the field of
serological infection diagnostics and allergy diagnostics. In 2006 the clinical product
portfolio was extended by innovative test systems in the product lines tumor
diagnostics and gastroenterology. R-Biopharm AG has been a successful market
player worldwide and is constantly developing new and partly groundbreaking test
systems in different areas. In this process automation is a main focus from the
beginning. All R-Biopharm tests are validated and CE-marked.
All products are not intended for use in diagnostic procedure in the US, except
products marked FDA-cleared.

Allergy Diagnostics
The use of different laboratory tests beside the anamneses and in-vivo
tests are commonly accepted when investigating immediate-type
allergies. R-Biopharm offers different laboratory tests for both IgE and
IgG determination in human serum as well as histamine release assay.
Especially in children under the age of six, in case of suspected extreme
sensibility and in patients with skin dermatosis in the testing area
(neurodermitis, urticaria etc.) in-vitro diagnostics are frequently the only
possibilities to confirm an atopic sensitization.
RIDASCREEN® ELISA –
single and panel testing
RIDASCREEN® ELISA is an enzyme immunoassay for the detection of total/specific IgE
and specific IgG antibodies. The system is
based on a cellulose disc bound single
allergen determination either in microwell
plates or strips.
R-Biopharm offers the allergen discs inserted
in both 8-well breakable strips and 16 well
solid microwell blocks (panel).
With the possibility to order different
individual panels, the high flexibility of
single allergens is combined elegantly with
the economic efficiency and the simple
handling of the customized plate.
R-Biopharm offers also customized plates
assembled with allergen discs by R-Biopharm
according to the client’s order. This offers
full flexibility in diagnostics, cost management and storage.
RIDA® AllergyScreen® – panel testing
RIDA® AllergyScreen® is an immunoblot
especially designed for IgE mediated allergy
screening purposes. With only 250 μl serum
per panel 20 allergens can be tested simply
and quickly in one work cycle, an efficient
and highly economic system for the
diagnostic confirmation of allergies. The
evaluation of the panels is done either
manually by comparing the bands with a
color card or automatically by way of digital
picture evaluation in the RIDA® X-Screen,
RIDA® quadro-Screen or RIDA® maXi-Screen 2.
Histamine-Release-Test (HR-Test) –
single and panel testing
The HR-Test is an in-vitro method to detect
allergen induced histamine release from
basophil leukocytes by the use of a patented
glassfiber method.
As the HR-Test detects the symptom
causing agent - the histamine directly, it completes the present
in-vitro allergy diagnostics.
RIDASCREEN® spec. IgG Foodscreen
The specific IgG Foodscreen is an enzyme
immunoassay for the quantitative determination of specific IgG antibodies against
food allergens and can be used in cases of
suspected non-IgE mediated food allergy.
For more information please ask R-Biopharm
AG or your local distributor.

Infectious Diseases / Antigen Detection
Infections of the gastrointestinal tract belong to the most common
diseases of our modern society. In the industrialized nations they are
by now the second frequent disease in childhood.
The diagnostics of infectious intestinal diseases belongs to the most frequent requirements in a medical microbiological lab.
Knowledge of pathogenesis, epidemiology
and diagnostics of these diseases has grown
considerably over the last years, along with
the list of possible agents.
Besides the classical methods of microbiology, immunological tests like ELISA and
immunochromatographic rapid tests play
an increasingly important role in the microbiological lab. Their advantage over culturing methods is the possibility of detecting
also those germs that are no longer able to
multiply.
Usually, an infection caused by enteropathogenic microorganisms disturbs the normal
barrier function of the intestinal mucosa,
however normally only temporarily. Such
enteropathogenic species are found among
bacteria, viruses and protozoans. As far
as infants are concerned, Rotaviruses are
among the most important causes of infec-
tious enteritis. In addition to Astro- and
Adenoviruses, Norovirus in particular plays
an important role among those viral agents
as it cannot be cultivated. Among the
protozoans, Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba
histolytica and Cryptosporidia are the most
important causative agents of diarrhoea.
As far as bacteria are concerned, Campylobacter causes by now just as many diseases
as Salmonella, besides a large number of
other pathogenic bacteria species.
R-Biopharm offers a wide range of test kits
for the specific detection of antigens of the
different pathogenic agents in stool specimens.
The ELISA systems are available under the
trade name RIDASCREEN®, the immunochromatographic rapid tests under the trade
name RIDA®QUICK respectively. The rapid
tests are offered as dipsticks as well as in the
practical cassette format.

Infectious Diseases / Antibody Detection
Requirements for the modern serological diagnostics.
The R-Biopharm test systems for infectious diseases cover all important
areas of modern serological diagnostics. All test kits are highly specific and
sensitive for the respective pathogens.
New!
All RIDASCREEN® Sero ELISA test kits contain two additional controls for
quality assurance purposes.
RIDASCREEN® Sero ELISA:
Individual patient analysis leads to multiple
determinations which must be tested in
parallel. Test specific reagents and different
incubation times require an amount of time
and work that can hardly be handled. In our
RIDASCREEN® Sero ELISA product group the
number of reagents is reduced to a minimum by offering common buffers and
conjugates. Identical incubation times also
make the simultaneous analysis of different
tests easier. Thus RIDASCREEN® Sero ELISA
fulfil the essential requirements for an
automatic processing on modern ELISA
systems that help to facilitate procedures in
the laboratory. A single-point calibration of
the standard curve reduces the number of
standards to a single one and therefore
keeps costs to the minimum. Interpretation
of results is quick and easy by using
RIDA®SOFT Win software.
In addition to the RIDASCREEN® Sero ELISA product line R-Biopharm offers two more
groups for infectious serological diagnostics:
RIDASCREEN® ELISA for Chlamydia diagnostics:
Identification of species-specific antibodies
is the decisive factor in the diagnosis of
Chlamydia. The high crossreactivity of most
antigens poses an immense problem
for this diagnostic test. Only certain
components of the outer membrane protein
complex allow the separate identification of
antigens against C. trachomatis and
C. pneumoniae. By using these proteins in
the RIDASCREEN® ELISA we offer two highly
specific tests for Chlamydia diagnostics.
Common reagents and incubation times
allow simultaneous analysis of these
parameters that are of high importance for
infectious serology.
RIDASCREEN® ELISA for parasite diagnostics:
R-Biopharm offers six ELISAs for the most
important serological parameters in
parasitology. To ensure quality of antibody
detection in parasite diagnostics the
selection of appropriate antigens is crucial.
For this reason we place a special focus
on the selections of antigens used in our
RIDASCREEN® ELISA for parasite diagnostics.
Also in this product line all test share
common buffers and incubation times.

Molecular Diagnostics
Molecular detection methods have revolutionized medical diagnosis
and are an essential part of today‘s laboratory diagnostics. In many
areas of infectious diseases the classical detection methods have been
replaced or supplemented by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays.
The earlier a disease is discovered and
diagnosed, the better it can be treated.
Molecular diagnostics allow for an early and
specific diagnosis by direct detection of
DNA or RNA of the pathogen thus leading to
a selective and therapeutic treatment of
the individual patient.
R-Biopharm RIDA®GENE-kits are based on
real-time PCR technology for detection of
gastrointestinal infections, hospital acquired
infections (HAI) and respiratory infections.
This highly sensitive and specific method
provides rapid results. A variety of commercial manual or automated extraction systems
can be used to obtain the DNA or RNA of the
pathogen from different specimens.
RIDA®GENE kits can be run on commonly
used real-time PCR instruments, such as
LightCycler®, SmartCycler®, ABI series or Mx
series. This allows for a flexible use of the
RIDA®GENE kits for routine diagnostics.
R-Biopharm RIDA®GENE kits include all
necessary components required for the
specific detection of pathogens. An included
internal control detects potential PCR
inhibition and ensures reliable results. All
R-Biopharm RIDA®GENE kits are CE marked
and are regularly evaluated by participation
in the QCMD (Quality Control for Molecular
Diagnostics) quality assessment.

Tumor Diagnostics
The transformation of normal to cancerous cells is accompanied by
changes in metabolism. Malignant cells exhibit increased glucose
consumption as well as increased glycolysis compared to normal
cells. The observation that glycolysis is preferred also under aerobic
conditions was already noticed and published in the 1920s by the
German Nobel laureate Otto Warburg and is known as the “Warburg
effect”. The “Warburg effect” is still a topic of intensive research. The
involved scientists hope that they will be able to find new diagnostics
and therapeutics to fight cancer.
In general cancer patients do not die
because of a primary tumor but because of
the metabolic consequences of uncontrolled tumor growth and expansion
(metastasis). It is of utmost importance to
identify these aggressive tumors early and
to treat them with specific therapies.
Transketolase dependent reactions regulate
the non-oxidative part of the pentose-phosphate-pathway (PPP) in glucose metabolism. This pathway generates NADPH and
pentose phosphates. The latter are important for nucleic acid metabolism. Recent
publications show, that beside the ubiquitous transketolase (TKT) other transketolaselike proteins exist. In 1996 Coy et al.
reported that transketolase-like 1 (TKTL1) is
a transketolase-like protein with a 38 amino
acid deletion compared to TKT.
role of TKTL1 in tumor metabolism.
Expression studies on transketolase-like 1
show that the protein is found in aggressive
tumors of different entities. The detection of
TKTL1 is furthermore correlated with poor
patient prognosis and metastasis.
Furthermore published functional data is
available. It has been shown, that the
inhibition of TKTL1 expression by RNA
interference results in reduced growth of
tumor cells, while overexpression of TKTL1
promotes cell proliferation. Latest publications suggest an important role of TKTL1 in
the metabolism of tumor cells.
TKTL1 can be detected by immunohistochemistry in patient biopsies with
RIDA® PentoCheck® IHC.
Since 1996 TKTL1 is a matter of active
research and many studies appeared on the

Gastroenterology
The analysis of stool matrix by using modern stool markers provides
numerous information on the gastrointestinal situation of a patient.
Until now these possibilities have either not been fully exploited or
not been adequately used in routine diagnostics. The significance of
the intestine, known to be the organ with the largest physiologically
effective surface area, is still completely underestimated with regards
to its importance for health in general.
In Germany, approximately 73.000 people
are diagnosed each year as having bowel
cancer. Colonoscopy is still the method of
reference used for detecting carcinomas and
adenomas. The detection of occult blood in
stool samples is a frequently used screening
method of detecting bowel cancer in its
early stages. The commonly used guaiac
tests are based on the pseudo-peroxidase
activity of haemoglobin. These tests are
highly sensitive to different food compounds
and have therefore a limited significance for
detecting bowel cancer.
Immunological test systems in contrast
have a definite advantage by using
specific antibodies exclusively directed
against human haemoglobin respectively
haemoglobin/haptoglobin complex:
These tests can recognize human
haemoglobin that is one hundred times
lower in concentration compared to that
in biochemical methods. False positive or
false negative results due to interfering food
compounds are nearly impossible.
More than 300.000 patients are suffering
from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in
Germany. In many cases, chronic inflammatory bowel disease shows symptoms that
are very difficult to distinguish from those of
irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The recently
developed new Calprotectin assay provided
by R-Biopharm AG will further improve diagnosis of CED.
Fecal calprotectin measurement provides
a reliable differentiation between chronic
inflammatory bowel disease and irritable
bowel syndrome. In addition to this
measurement of fecal calprotectin provides a
means of objectively assessing the response
to treatment of chronic inflammatory bowel
disease and for monitoring these patients
during clinical remission to enable the early
detection and treatment of relapses of IBD.
With RIDASCREEN® ELISA tests R-Biopharm
offers a range of excellent products for
comprehensive and improved diagnostics
in the field of gastroenterology.

General Terms & Conditions of R-Biopharm AG
(Date of Issue: October 2010)
us. We shall only be obligated to obtain a transport insurance, if explicitly
instructed to do so by the Buyer in writing; the Buyer shall bear the costs for
this insurance.
2. The passing of risk to the Buyer takes place as soon as the goods have been
handed over to the haulage contractor respectively leave our factory or
distribution warehouse for the purpose of dispatch; this also is valid, if we - by
way of exception - organize additional services, e. g. carriage prepaid shipping,
delivery to the premises of the Buyer, or similar. In particular we are not liable
for alteration or deterioration of the goods during transport or resulting from
improper storage. Should we have notified the Buyer that the goods are ready
for dispatch or collection, the risk passes on to the Buyer, if he does not have
the goods delivered or collect them, despite of us having set him a reasonable
period of time for doing so; regarding that, the passing of risk takes place at the
beginning of the day which follows the day, on which the deadline has expired.
I. General Provisions
These General Terms & Conditions only are valid for entrepreneurs, legal
entities under public law or public-law special assets (legal entities according
to § 310 I German Civil Code (“Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch” -”BGB”). We deliver
according to these General Terms & Conditions exclusively. They are deemed
to have been acknowledged with the placing of an order or the receipt of the
goods and shall also apply to all future business relationships, even if they
are not explicitly agreed upon again. Deviating Terms and Conditions are not
binding for us, even if we do not object to them explicitly.
II. Orders and Offer Documents
Our offers are subject to alteration. Decisive for the scope of our delivery
obligation are our offer in writing respectively our written order confirmation.
Deliverable are only the products which are contained in our current applicable
price lists.
VII. Warranty / Liability
1. It is precondition for the execution of claims based on a defect, that the Buyer
has performed his responsibilities to examine and complain according to § 377
of the German Commercial Code (“Handelsgesetzbuch” -”HGB”) correctly and
completely.
2. We are liable for faultlessness of the goods corresponding to the state of the
art. Features of samples and specimens as well as any statements regarding the
condition of the goods, shall only be considered as an agreement on quality,
if they explicitly have been agreed upon as determining the condition of the
goods. Otherwise they are non-binding and do not free the Buyer from an own
inspection of the goods concerning their suitability for his purposes. We neither
grant guarantees with the content of a liability without fault nor any other kind
of guarantees for quality and durability in the legal sense.
3. We are not liable for damages as far as they have been caused by improper
storage of our products and/or their application contrary to the prescriptions
- e. g. application after expiry of their shelf life or contrary to the direction for
use - or as far as they have been caused by the Buyer in any other way.
4. The exceeding of use-by dates after the delivery does not entitle the Buyer to
claims of any kind, but is deemed to be the usual condition. This is not the case,
if the period between the date of delivery and the use-by date is less than four
(4) calendar weeks.
5. We shall only be liable for damages, as far as we attributable have caused them
by intent or gross negligence (disregard for the due care and attention to a very
coarse extent); except in case of violation of essential contractual obligations
(obligations, whose fulfillment enables the proper execution of the contract at
all and on whose observance the contractual partner may rely regularly). In this
last-mentioned case we are liable for each negligence with the restriction that
- in case of violation of essential contractual duties by slight negligence - our
liability is limited to the damage which typically is predictable.
6. Should we not have violated any essential contractual obligations in the sense
mentioned before, we are not liable in cases of slight negligence. Unaffected by
any limitation of liability contained in these General Terms & Conditions stay:
Liability for intent, malice, initial inability, gross negligence, liability resulting
from a guarantee (which, however, we generally not grant), bodily harms and
other cases of legally compelling liability - in these cases the statutory law is
valid (under exclusion of the Terms and Conditions of our contractual partner).
7. The regulations of this clause Warranty/Liability are valid for our contractual
liability as well as liability resulting from tort (unaffected thereby stays the
action for possession in case of tort, after statutory limitation has taken place,
§ 852 German Civil Code (“Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch” -BGB”)).
8. As far as our lability is excluded or limited, this shall also apply to the personal
liability of our representatives, employees and vicarious agents and our liability
for them.
9. As far as there is a defect of the goods, for which we are liable, the Buyer
has to grant us the opportunity to execute subsequent performance within
a term of generally two (2) calendar weeks, before the assertion of his further
rights. In case that subsequent performance fails twice, in case of our refusal,
or if subsequent performance is impossible, is delayed unreasonably or
unreasonable for the Buyer due to other reasons, the Buyer may - according
to his choice - execute his further legal rights, namely rescission or reduction
of the purchase price and (regarding defects for which we are liable) claim of
possibly occurred damages or compensation for possible futile expenditure, by
which our liability is limited according to the preceding regulations.
III. Prices and Conditions of Payment / Withdrawal in case of default
1. Purchase price is the price stated by us or - if no price has been stated - the price
which is contained in our price list, which is in effect on the day of the order.
The prices stated by us - unless otherwise stipulated in writing - are including
packing and shipping costs, excluding VAT. The deduction of cash discounts
shall not be granted. A small-quantity surcharge in the amount of 10 Euros
can be charged for deliveries with a product value of up to 300 Euros (small
quantity).
2. Payment obligations resulting from the delivery of goods are to be fulfilled
within thirty (30) days of the invoice date by bank transfer exclusively and shall
be deemed to have been effected only to the extent, to which we can dispose
of them freely at a bank. For checks and bills of exchange, a processing fee of
30 Euros shall be charged; discounting and expenses shall be for the account
of the Buyer.
3. The Buyer shall only be entitled to set-off with a counter-claim which is
undisputed or has been determined by a final verdict. A right of retention
the Buyer does only have as far as it is resulting from the same contractual
relationship.
4. Should the Buyer be in default with due payments entirely or partly, the
regulations of the statutory law are applicable. Interest in the amount of 8%
above the basic interest rate (as it is published by the German Federal Bank)
shall be due. We are reserving the right to claim any exceeding damage for
delay.
5. In case of withdrawal, we are entitled - at the expense of the Buyer - to let the
goods, which have been delivered by us, mark, store separately and collect.
The Buyer - already yet - is declaring his consent that the persons who are
commissioned with the collection are entitled to access the premises, on which
the goods are, and enter them by car for this purpose.
6. In case of our withdrawal, we are not obliged to further deliveries any more,
also regarding further future deliveries.
IV. Retention of Title
1. We shall retain title to the goods delivered by us, until all the claims, to
which we are entitled on whatever legal grounds arising from our business
relationship with the Buyer, have been fully satisfied. Upon the Buyer’s request,
we shall be obligated to release the securities in so far as their realizable value
exceeds our claims by more than 10%. We reserve the right to select the items
of collateral to be released.
2. The Buyer undertakes to only sell the goods, which are subject to retention, in
his ordinary course of business, according to his usual terms and conditions
of business and only as long as he is not in default with his payments. He
is entitled to resell the goods, which are subject to retention, only on the
condition that a transfer of the receivables, resulting from such a resale, to us
takes place. He is not be entitled to dispose of the goods, which are subject to
retention, in any another way (such as e. g. collateral assignment, pledging,
leasing, lending, etc.). The Buyer is obligated to immediately notify us of any
seizure or other interference by a third party, together with handing over of the
documents which are necessary for an intervention.
V. Delivery
1. Our delivery times are generally only approximate and not binding.
2. Uncontrollable incidents, for which we are not responsible, e. g. natural
phenomena, war, orders of the authorities, embargo, unexpected delays in the
delivery of essential components and other materials (“Force Majeure”), shall
prolong the delivery time reasonably. This also applies, if these incidents occur
during a delay in delivery or at a sub-supplier. However, the delivery time shall
be prolonged by a maximum period of two (2) months. Should we also not
be able to deliver after this time, then the Buyer as well as we themselves are
entitled to withdraw from the contract. Any claims of damages of the Buyer
for this reason are excluded. Should we withdraw from the contract, we shall
immediately refund the Buyer any and all payments possibly rendered for not
yet delivered goods.
3. Should the Buyer - despite reminder - not fulfill his payment obligations
resulting from existing contracts, we shall only supply on advance payment
from then on.
4. We are entitled to partial deliveries to a reasonable extent; here each partial
delivery can be invoiced separately. In case of order on call, the call-off has to
take place at least two (2) calendar weeks prior to the desired delivery date.
VIII. Burden of Proof / Export / Effectiveness
1. With none of the stipulations of these General Terms & Conditions an alteration
of the burden of proof is intended.
2. We are not liable for the correctness of information regarding foreign-trade
which we provide to our best conscience; it is the Buyer´s responsibility
to assess the compliance with foreign-trade regulations with regard to our
products himself.
3. Should any of the regulations of our General Terms & Conditions be ineffective
and/or incomplete, the validity of the other regulations shall remain unaffected
thereby.
IX. Applicable Law and Place of Jurisdiction
1. The contractual relationship shall be governed by the laws of the Federal
Republic of Germany, which shall be applicable supplementary. The
UN-convention on contracts regarding the International Sale of Goods (CISG)
shall not apply.
2. Exclusive Place of Jurisdiction is Darmstadt (Germany). However, we are
entitled to file a lawsuit against the Buyer also at any other court, which does
have jurisdiction regarding him according to the general regulations.
VI. Shipment and Passing of Risk
1. Dispatch ex works or distribution warehouse shall be carried out at the expense
of the Buyer. Shipping route and mode of dispatch shall be determined by
