Key Advantages

Verification of rapid urease tests in endoscopy

Fast QC delivering results within minutes

Clear results for easy interpretation

Use daily or according to local point of care protocols

Low cost and high value

Rapid urease tests are important, reliable, and simple tools for diagnosing H. pylori in endoscopy settings and like any in vitro diagnostic test should incorporate regular quality control.

BIOHIT created the H. pylori CONTROL+ to ensure test validity and traceability when used daily or with new test batches. ​H. pylori CONTROL+ is a urease solution that is ready to use in a convenient dropper bottle. When applied to your Helicobacter pylori rapid urease test the H. pylori CONTROL+ will produce a positive result and confirm the validity of the test. 1ml of BIOHIT H. pylori CONTROL+ will provide enough reagent for up to 100 control tests.

How does the BIOHIT H. pylori CONTROL+ work?

The BIOHIT H. pylori CONTROL+ reagent verifies the performance of rapid urease tests by simulating a positive biopsy reaction to produce a positive test result.

The H. pylori CONTROL+ contains urease, an enzyme that breaks down urea to produce ammonia and carbon dioxide. Rapid urease tests containing a urea substrate and a pH-indicator react positively in the presence of urease. A positive test result indicates that the rapid urease test is performing as expected and can be documented for QC purposes.

How much H. pylori CONTROL+ should I use?

Use 1 drop of the CONTROL+ in place of a biopsy specimen in each test to be checked.

How often should I use H. pylori CONTROL+?

It is recommended to use the H. pylori CONTROL+ before rapid urease tests are used on clinical specimens – this may be daily before endoscopy lists begin, or whenever a new batch of tests is introduced.

What is the significance of the H. pylori Control+?

The H. pylori Control+ is a urease solution that serves as a positive control for daily quality checks of the test’s performance. By running this control before testing patient samples, clinicians can verify that the test is working correctly, ensuring the accuracy of patient results.

How should the H. pylori CONTROL+ be stored?

The test should be stored at a temperature between 2-8 °C to maintain its effectiveness.
