What is a Fecal Occult Blood Test Kit (FOB)?
A Fecal Occult Blood Test Kit (FOB) is a medical diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of small amounts of blood in the feces, which may not be visible. This rapid test is used as a screening tool for gastrointestinal disorders, such as colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease.
The fecal occult blood test kit is available as an individual test strip or as a testing cassette. Both forms of this rapid test are convenient and easy to administer.

Fecal
Fecal Swab is used to collect a sample of cells from a patient's stool sample. The instrument features a long, thin part that is made of plastic and a tip at the end that is inserted into the stool sample and rotated to ensure that the entire tip area of the swab is in contact with the sample.
The swab comes in a sterile blister pack. After collecting the sample, it is immediately placed in a buffer dilution to proceed with the test.
Cassette
Cassette is a plastic box with a test strip contained inside. Each plastic testing cassette features an area for sample placement and a window in which the lines will be displayed as a positive, negative, or invalid test result.
The test strip inside of the cassette contains reagents that will interact with any hemoglobin or other blood components that are present within the stool sample.
Strip
Strip is a long, thin piece of plastic with a reaction pad in which there will be a visible signal that displays a positive, negative, or invalid test result.
The strip should be dropped into the specimen sample at the arrow end, which contains the reagents based on the immunochromatic assay.
