Description
Our Inflammatory Bowel test uses a small stool sample in a compact testing kit to gain a fast indication of Calprotectin 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 Calprotectin Rapid Test detects levels of Faecal Calprotectin qualitatively and the test cassette membrane is precoated in an anti-Calprotectin antibody covering the test line region (T) which the Calprotectin in the specimen reacts with. The mixture migrates upwards by capillary action, reacting with the anti-Calprotectin 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.
The intensity of the colour of the T region will vary depending on the concentration of Calprotectin in the specimen. This means that any shade of colour in the test region should be considered a positive result. Calprotectin levels above 50ug/g in your stool could indicate inflammation somewhere in your gastrointestinal system. You may or may not have blood in your stool sample.
This partner exclusive is available as a pack of ten (10) kits.
