Rapid immunochromatographic test for qualitative evidence of intact hBH (human hemoglobin) in a stool sample. For immunological evidence of occult blood in stool.
Due to the oxidation process, there is a natural limit to how effective the Guaiac method for diagnosing bowel cancer can be. Cross-reactions with non-specific oxidases in food – especially likely if the patient has not complied with dietary instructions – lead to an inaccurate and therefore unreliable result.
With immoCARE-C – a testing method for the detection of human haemoglobin in stool samples based on sensitive antibodies – eating restrictions are no longer necessary, either before or during the testing period. This achieves greater compliance along with improved accuracy. Clinical trials have shown that by lowering the required level of evidence (i.e. the amount of haemoglobin present in the stool) the success rate of polyp detection more than doubles.
This makes it a particularly effective testing method for early detection.
The sampling of the stool using a buffer in a pre-filled sample container is more hygienic and user-friendly. The tip of the container is broken off and some of the sample mixture placed on the sample field of the test cassette. The result (purple lines) is easy to read in the result field, and is no longer influenced by the color of the stool itself.
