Frequently Asked Questions
In vitro diagnostics (IVD) test vs. Research use only (RUO) test
In vitro diagnostics (IVD) tests are medical diagnostic tests that are used for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or medical conditions in humans. They are regulated by governmental agencies and are required to meet certain performance standards before they can be marketed and sold to the public.
Research use only (RUO) tests are intended for use in laboratory research only and not for clinical diagnosis or treatment. These tests are not regulated by government agencies and do not have to meet the same performance standards as IVD tests.
When it comes to food intolerance tests, IVD tests are used to diagnose and monitor food intolerance in clinical settings. They are designed to be used by healthcare professionals and provide results that can be used to guide treatment decisions. RUO tests, on the other hand, are designed for use in research settings only and are not intended to be used to diagnose or treat food intolerance. These tests may be used to study the underlying mechanisms of food intolerance or to develop new diagnostic tests or treatments.
