Elecsys® Total -Tau CSF

Robust and accurate biomarker tests to solve clinical questions

Elecsys® Total-Tau CSF (tTau) is an in vitro diagnostic immunoassay intended for the quantitative determination of the total tau protein concentration in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).1

Elecsys® tTau assay is part of the Elecsys® AD portfolio, along with Elecsys® β-Amyloid(1-42) CSF II (AB42 2)  and Elecsys® Phospho-Tau (181P) CSF (pTau) immunoassays.1

Elecsys® AD CSF assays can detect amyloid positivity, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and physician confidence.2,3

Elecsys® AD CSF assays enable timely intervention by identifying patients with MCI at risk of progression to AD.1,3
