Helicobacter Antigen Test Home Check

This is a rapid home test designed to detect H. pylori infection. It is used for identifying H. pylori antigens in a stool sample. The test principle is based on the antigen-antibody reaction. Monoclonal antibodies against H. pylori, applied to the test membrane during manufacturing, react with the bacterial antigens of H. pylori present in the stool being tested. The test result is read as colored lines on the membrane of the test cassette within 10 minutes. The Helicobacter Pylori test is intended to detect the presence of the bacteria residing in the human stomach. This test is used to determine the presence of Helicobacter pylori antigens in a stool sample. A positive test result indicates the presence of antigens in the body. Since the Helicobacter pylori bacterium is a major cause of stomach and duodenal diseases (such as gastritis or peptic ulcers), it is recommended to conduct the test if alarming digestive symptoms appear. Confirmation of a Helicobacter pylori infection will allow a doctor to begin appropriate treatment.
