Screening panels for a more confident diagnosis

Screening panels are often the first step in an autoimmune diagnosis. Quest offers a comprehensive menu of autoimmune panels that incorporate reflex testing to expedite diagnostic assessment without the need for additional visits and follow-up orders, helping to contain costs and speed time to diagnosis.

ANA screen with reflexes

The ANA Screen, IFA, Reflex Titer/Pattern, Reflex Mplx 11 Ab Cascade with IdentRA® from Quest Diagnostics provides clear, positive identification of specific antibodies for the 8 most common rheumatic diseases with one blood draw.

Our panel:

  • Utilizes IFA with HEp-2 cells, which remains the gold standard1
  • Reflexes to tiered cascading of specific autoantibodies to maximize sensitivity and specificity
  • Tests for rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), mixed connective tissue disease, Sjögren syndrome, systemic sclerosis, polymyositis/dermatomyositis, CREST syndrome, and neuropsychiatric SLE

ANAlyzeR™ ANA IFA with Reflex Titer/Pattern

The ANA Screen, Immunofluorescence assay (IFA), Reflex Titer/Pattern panel evaluates 25 analytes from a single sample to provide clear, positive identification of specific antibodies for the most common autoimmune rheumatic diseases.

Our panel:

  • Utilizes IFA with HEp-2 cells, which remains the gold standard1
  • Tests for all analytes regardless of ANA results
  • Tests for rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), mixed connective tissue disease, Sjögren syndrome, systemic sclerosis, polymyositis/dermatomyositis, CREST syndrome, and neuropsychiatric SLE
