Many people feel some discomfort, or even become ill, when they drink or eat dairy products, without being aware of it until they discover that, in fact, they are lactose intolerant. But, what is really lactose intolerance? In this post, we will try to offer some information about the causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of...
The OSAXYL measurement system developed by BIOLAN HEALTH is an accurate, simple and fast portable tool to diagnose hypolactasia. The OSAXYL measurement system developed by BIOLAN HEALTH is an accurate, simple, fast and portable tool to quantify intestinal lactase activity levels, the cause of lactose intolerance, in urine. OSAXYL will improve the health and quality...
Until the appearance of COVID-19, few people knew what antibodies were, what their implications were, etc. Now there is a lot of talk about antibodies, herd immunity, vaccines, but do you know what antibodies are? What types exist? What are their functions? Let us tell you! Antibodies or immunoglobulins are proteins secreted by the immune...
The recent expansion of SARS-COV-2 vaccines is generating an important debate about the immunity they generate against the virus, and knowing whether vaccines are effective is obviously of great concern to the population. The way to corroborate whether these vaccines have the desired effect by provoking the expected immune response is to check whether antibodies...
Knowing whether the vaccines are effective is of great concern. To know ifthe vaccines have been effective, it would be necessary to check if antibodies to COVID-19 have been generated. In this regard, can serological tests measure the efficacy of vaccines? The answer is that it depends on what type of antibodies the test detects....
Vaccination is of vital importance to protect us against the virus and, in the current situation, to improve the pandemic situation. They help us to generate immunity against different diseases. Vaccines work by introducing, in different ways, the element against which we want our body to generate immunity and, thus, when we come into contact...
This collaborative action is part of a broader agreement reached between CIC bioGUNE and BIOLAN in areas aimed at disease diagnosis and other health applications. CIC bioGUNE -a member of the Basque Research & Technology Alliance, BRTA- and BIOLAN have signed a collaboration agreement to exchange the knowledge necessary for the development, manufacture and commercialisation...
Food intolerances and allergies are common occurrences in the population. It is estimated that about 20% of the population suffers a food reaction during their lifetime.

Differences...
As a consequence of the World Health Day, from BIOLAN HEALTH we want to highlight the importance of early diagnosis in many diseases. Therefore, the detection of biomarkers for diagnosis has become a reliable method for early treatment of many diseases. This early diagnosis is especially important in diseases such as cancer, where time is...
Lateral flow immunoassays (LFI) are based on the use of nitrocellulose membranes as a support for immunological reactions. They are tests used to detect the presence or absence of an analyte of biotechnological interest in a liquid sample. Unlike traditional immunoassays, that involve the use of multiwell plates, high cost, complicated washing and sample preparation...
