Description
Our Colon Cancer / Health test uses a small stool sample in a compact testing kit to gain a fast indication of faecal occult blood (FOB) levels. The kits are mailed directly to you and contain the lateral flow kit, lancet, comprehensive instructions and everything you or your client need to perform the test.
Biomarkers tested:
The FOB rapid test detects low levels of FOB qualitatively and a double antibody sandwich assay is used. The test cassette membrane is precoated in an anti-Haemoglobin antibody covering the test line region (T) which the FOB in the specimen reacts with. The mixture migrates upwards by capillary action, reacting with the anti-Haemoglobin antibody and generating a coloured line. Two coloured lines on the cassette in the C (Control) and T (test) regions indicate a positive result and a valid test result.
Blood in your stool means there is bleeding somewhere in your digestive tract. Sometimes very small amounts can only be detected by a Faecal Occult Test and sometimes it may be visible on toilet tissue or in the toilet after a bowel movement. Bleeding that occurs in the higher digestive tract may make stool specimens appear black and tarry.
This partner exclusive is available as a pack of ten (10) kits.
