About H.pylori

H.pylori is a small, spiral-shaped bacterium that lives in the surface of the stomach and duodenum. It is implicated in the etiology of a variety of gastrointestinal diseases, including duodenal and gastric ulcer, non-ulcer dyspepsia and active and chronic gastritis. A very common approach to the diagnosis of H.pylori infection is the serological identification of specific antibodies in infected patients. The main limitation of serology test is the inability to distinguish current and past infections. Antibody may be present in the patient’s serum long after eradication of the organisms. Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection underlies gastric ulcer disease, gastric cancer and duodenal ulcer disease. The disease expression reflects the pattern and extent of gastritis/gastric atrophy (i.e., duodenal ulcer with non-atrophic and gastric ulcer and gastric cancer with atrophic gastritis).

The H.pylori Antigen Rapid Test (Feces) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of H.pylori antigens in human feces specimens, providing results in 10 minutes. The test utilizes antibodies specific for H.pylori antigens to selectively detect H.pylori antigens in human feces specimens.

Tongzhou H.pylori Antigen Rapid Test Cup

The H.pylori Antigen Rapid Test (Feces) is a qualitative, lateral flow immunoassay for the detection of H.pylori antigens in human feces specimens. In this test, the membrane is pre-coated with anti-H.pylori antibody on the test line region of the test. During testing, the specimen reacts with the particle coated with anti- H.pylori antibody. The mixture migrates upward on the membrane by capillary action to react with anti- H.pylori antibody on the membrane and generate a colored line. The presence of this colored line in the test region indicates a positive result, while its absence indicates a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, a colored line will always appear in the control line region indicating that proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.
