FOB Rapid, Screening test for occult blood in feces   The immunological detection of haemoglobin in stool samples is a well-known, state-of-the-art method as an aid in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer.   The FOB tests provide highest user convenience and are  a very well proven product with a usual sensitivity of 40 ng/ml and highly for human haemoglobin.   The kit  contains a complete ready to use equipment for fast and accurate tests at the POC or doctors’ office, including qualitative or semi-quantitative samplers for stool to give to the patient for home self sampling.

 

Hb + Hb / Hp Complex Rapid, Combo Screening test for haemoglobin and haemoglobin / haptoglobin complex in feces   The Hb / Hp complex is a new revolutionary test for detecting the haemoglobin/haptoglobin complex in feces.   The complex plays an important role in recovering haemoglobin from lysed erythrocytes and is relatively resistant to acids and proteolytic degradation.   Consequently Hb / Hp complexes can be detected even after longer intestinal passages.   Thus blood, originating from larger intestinal polyps or upper colon carcinomas can also be detected.

Hb / Hp complex provides a significant increase in sensitivity regarding the identification of colorectal adenomas and carcinomas.   The combined assay for haemoglobin ( Hb ) and haemoglobin / haptoglobin complex ( Hb / Hp ) is therefore an innovative and very sensitive method for the early diagnosis of colon carcinomas and larger adenomas.   The test has a sensitivity of 25ng of free or complexed haemoglobin / ml and is 100% specific for human haemoglobin and human Haemoglobin / Haptoglobin complex.   The kit  contains a complete ready to use equipment for 25 fast and accurate tests at the POC or doctors’ office, including samplers for feces to give to the patient for home self sampling.   The long shelf life ( 24 months ) give the doctor the time to  use the whole kit.

 

Hb / Transferrin Rapid, dual  screening test for simultaneous detection of haemoglobin and transferrin in feces   This immuno chromatographic dual test ( 3 lines: control, Hb and Transferrin ) detects both Hemoglobin and transferring protein.   The Transferrin protein has different interactions from Hemoglobin with the environment (ph levels, enzymes, and bacteria) in the digestive tract. It is believed that Transferrin can survive low ph ( acidic ) environment better and are also less prone to the breakdown effects of enzyme, which allows detection of occult blood that Hemoglobin alone may miss.

Detecting dual blood proteins can also reduce the likelihood of prozone effect, especially for Hemoglobin, which is about 90% of red blood cell’s dry weight, thus prozone effect with Hemoglobin can be a serious factor in detecting occult blood.   However, by detecting Transferrin, the Hemoglobin prozone effect can be reduced.   It has been observed in fact an increase of 9.7% in sensitivity of the test when Transferrin is also measured.   The absolute sensitivity of Hb/Transferrin-combo test is 10ng/ml of Hemoglobin and a Transferrin detection of 1ng/ml.

 

Total PSA test   For the easy, on site screening of PSA in capillary blood  in less than 10 min.   This test can be used to identify elevated levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA), which may be associated with enlarged prostate (benign hyperplasia of the prostate) or, in some cases, it may indicate the possible presence of prostate cancer.   Actually the test of PSA is a screening test performed routinely in men over 40 years for prevention, it can be done in lab, by the Doctor during visit and at home, as it has CE certification for both professional and self use.   The test has a sensitivity of 4 ng/ml.

 

Dual PSA test   For the easy, on site screening of PSA in capillary blood  in less than 10 min.   The Dual PSA uses a specific mix of antibodies to measure equally both forms of PSA, Free PSA as well as PSA-ACT complex form and measures PSA at 3 critical levels:   1) below 4 ng / ml ( or 2.5 ng/ ml upon request )   2) the suspicious range from the low value to 7 ng/ml   3) the positive values over 7 ng /ml total PSA The test is available on OEM basis ( private label) for serum/ plasma or for whole blood/ fingertip blood.
