Pro-Lab Diagnostics has released a rapid visual assay for the detection of Helicobacter pylori in faecal samples. Pyloritop Ag+ is an immunochromatogenic test designed to provide clinical laboratories with a cost-effective assay to help meet current guidelines for the detection and treatment of H. pylori.
Infection with H. pylori is estimated to affect 40–50 % of the population, and can have a significant impact on the treatment of patients with gastroduodenal disease, gastric cancer and unexplained iron deficiency anaemia. Pyloritop Ag+ provides a quick and convenient non-invasive test for H. pylori infection, offering rapid qualitative results in just five minutes to help guide clinical pathways and avoid unnecessary treatment.
Based on robust lateral flow technology, individually wrapped Pyloritop Ag+ test cassettes are supplied with a sample collection tube for maximum convenience, and can be stored safely at room temperature for up to 12 months, providing a practical solution for H. pylori testing.
