Product Information
AdvaCare is a CE, ISO and USFDA manufacturer of the Carcinoembryonic Antigen Test Strip.
The Carcinoembryonic Antigen test strip is a rapid and qualitative test to detect Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) in whole blood, serum, and plasma. The test is used to help diagnose primary carcinomas and to monitor cancer patients. Carcinoembryonic Antigen Test Strip is for professional in-vitro diagnostics only. Test results yield positive (two lines), negative (one line) or invalid (no lines).
The test membrane is coated with anti-Carcinoembryonic antigen antibodies. The specimen reacts to the anti-CEA antibodies that are coated on the test line region. The mixture goes upward on the membrane chromatographically by capillary action to react with anti-CEA antibodies and generate a colored line. When this line appears on the test it indicates a positive result and if it does not appear it is a negative result. On this test, there is a control line region that shows the validity of the test and that a proper volume of specimen has been added.

Additional Information
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a protein found in the blood of adults at low levels. CEA is basically glycoprotein that functions in cell adhesion. CEA is produced during fetal development from the gastrointestinal tissue. Because of the low levels during adult ages, it is used as a tumor marker in clinical tests after surgery or localizing cancer. Patients with colorectal carcinoma have higher levels of CEA (over 2.5 µg/L). Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels also rise because of gastric carcinoma, lung carcinoma, breast carcinoma, pancreatic carcinoma, and medullary thyroid carcinoma, as well as many other conditions.
Carcinoembryonic Antigen Test Strip is 99.3% accurate, has a relative sensitivity of 98.9%, and a relative specificity of 99.5%.
Carcinoembryonic Antigen Test Strip should be stored between 2-30°C. Note that the tests should not be frozen or stored in the sun. Test is valid until the expiration date that is written on the foil wrapping.
