The FOB Rapid Test Device (Feces) is a rapid visual immunoassay for the qualitative presumptive detection of human hemoglobin in human fecal specimens. This kit is intended to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of lower gastrointestinal (g.i.) pathologies.

【PRINCIPLE】

Colorectal cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers and a leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Screening for colorectal cancer probably increases cancer detection at an early stage, therefore reduces mortality.

Earlier commercially available FOB tests utilized the guaiac test, which requires special dietary restrictions to minimize false-positive and false-negative results. The FOB Rapid Test Device (Feces) is specially designed to detect human hemoglobin in fecal samples using Immunochemical methods, which improved specificity for the detection of lower gastrointestinal. disorders, including colorectal cancers and adenomas.
