Product Information
AdvaCare is a CE, ISO and USFDA manufacturer of Fecal Occult Blood Tests.
A fecal occult blood test is a qualitative detection chromatographic immunoassay for human occult blood in feces. Anti-hemoglobin antibodies are pre-coated on the membrane on the test line of the test. The specimen reacts with the anti-hemoglobin antibody. The created mixture moves upward by capillary action on the membrane chromatographically. The mixture reacts with the anti-hemoglobin antibody on the membrane which creates a colored line. If a colored line is formed, it shows a positive result and if no line is formed that means the results are negative. All tests have a control line to indicate that there has been enough volume of the specimen used.
Most diseases do not show any visible symptoms but can only be detected in occult blood. Those diseases include, for example, colon cancer, ulcers, polyps, colitis, diverticulitis, and fissures. Fecal occult blood test detects low levels of fecal occult blood in feces. Fecal occult blood test uses a double-antibody sandwich assay to detect 50ng/mL of hemoglobin or 6 µg hemoglobin/g feces.
The specimen should not be collected during the menstrual period or 3 days after, or if there is bleeding hemorrhoid or blood in the urine. Alcohol, aspirin or other medication should not be used at least 48 hours before testing, because it may cause gastrointestinal irritation that leads to occult bleeding.
