Vimentin IVD, antibody

Vimentin in vitro diagnostic (IVD) antibody devices are laboratory reagents designed to detect the presence or measure levels of vimentin, a protein found in cells. Clinically, they help diagnose conditions involving cellular changes, such as certain cancers, fibrosis, or tissue damage, by identifying vimentin in biopsy samples or body fluids like serum or urine.

These devices are typically regulated as IVDs, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction. They are often supplied as monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies, requiring proper handling and storage to maintain accuracy in diagnostic testing. Compliance with manufacturing standards ensures reliability for clinical use.
