(AFP) Alpha-Fetoprotein Test Kit

An (AFP) Alpha-Fetoprotein Test Kit is a medical diagnostic tool used to determine AFP levels in the blood, serum, or plasma. AFP is a protein produced during fetal development, and levels typically decrease after birth. Elevated AFP levels in the bloodstream can be an indicator of certain conditions and illnesses.

An AFP tumor marker test is primarily used to detect liver cancer. Elevated levels of AFP may be caused by other conditions, such as pregnancy, hepatitis, other types of cancer, and some types of birth defects, such as neural tube defects. Alpha-fetoprotein screening is also conducted to check the progress of treatment plans.

The alpha-fetoprotein test kit is a lateral flow immunoassay that uses specific antibodies to detect AFP in the sample. A visual signal is produced upon the binding of the antibodies to the protein if it is present.

Wait the designated amount of time, as referenced in the packaging instructions. 5. Read the results.

Any AFP antigen (ag) test that has been damaged or past its expiry should be discarded.

How are (AFP) Alpha-Fetoprotein Test Kit stored?

AFP test kits are recommended to be stored at room temperature (between 15°C and 30°C). Exposing the test kits to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or moisture can affect the accuracy and reliability of results. The tests should be kept in the original packaging until use.

How are used blood, serum, or plasma testing kits disposed of?
