Rapid triage test helping select patients for gastroscopy at the point of need
The BIOHIT GastroPanel Quick Test NT is a rapid and quantitative immunochromatographic test for the detection of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and atrophic gastritis in a clinic or point-of-care setting. GastroPanel Quick Test NT is an evolution of the GastroPanel ELISA method of detecting and quantifying H. pylori IgG antibodies and three stomach-specific biomarkers (pepsinogen I, pepsinogen II, gastrin-17) from EDTA plasma. It enables first line diagnosis of dyspeptic patients and screening of both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients, to help select patients for gastroscopy.
Atrophic gastritis, due to H. pylori infection or autoimmune disease, results in an increased risk of gastric adenocarcinoma as well as malabsorption of vitamin B12, calcium, iron, zinc and magnesium. GastroPanel Quick Test NT provides rapid results and reduces costs associated with unnecessary clinical appointments, while speeding up the referral of those patients that need gastroscopy.
