H.Pylori Test is a rapid test based upon the principle of immuno-chromatography for the qualitative detection of H.pylori antibodies (IgM/IgG/IgA) in human serum / plasma / whole blood. Each test card contains a strip composed of sample pad, conjugate pad, nitrocellulose membrane and absorbent pad. When an adequate volume of specimen is dispensed along with assay buffer into the sample well of the test device, the specimen migrates immuno-chromatographically across the nitro cellulose membrane along with complex of colloidal gold conjugate with H.pylori antibody present in the specimen. Appearance of pink / purple lines at test line region ‘T’ in addition to pink / purple line at control line region ‘C’, indicates that test specimen has detectable level of antibodies of H.pylori and shall be considered reactive.
H.Pylori antibody test intended used for qualitative detection of antibodies in human blood as in aid to diagnosis of H.pylori infection. Testing for antibodies is most often done to diagnose if an individual has stomach or duodenal ulcer in current or past and never tested for infection with H.pylori. The test may also be recommended for a condition called dyspepsia (indigestion). This is upper abdominal discomfort. Symptoms include a feeling of fullness or of heat, burning, or pain in the area between the navel and the lower part of the breastbone during or after eating. Testing for H pylori without endoscopy is most often done only when the discomfort is new, the person is younger than 55, and there are no other symptoms. We offer a test for in-vitro detection of H.pylori antibodies in finger prick whole blood. Components required to perform the test are available in packs. It can be stored upto 40°C for a period of 24 months from date of manufacturing. User friendly test which is simple to perform and easy to interpret the results without need of instruments
