An ultra-fast urease test for gastric biopsies
As part of upper endoscopy or gastroscopy procedures, urease tests are routinely used to identify the presence of H. pylori in gastric biopsies. The UFT300 Helicobacter pylori quick test is a rapid urease test that has transformed the diagnostic process and reporting of H. pylori infection in endoscopy settings. Unlike other urease tests, the UFT300 H. pylori quick test takes just 5 minutes, delivering reliable results that can be entered directly into your endoscopy reporting system and discussed with patients at the end of their procedure.
Urease enzyme is produced in large quantities by H. pylori, which degrades urea used in the UFT300 H. pylori Quick Test to produce ammonia. When this happens, the pH of the reagent changes and the reagent changes colour. During the gastroscopy, biopsy samples from the antrum and corpus mucosa are promptly examined using this ready-to-use test, allowing for precise results to be obtained in as few as 5 minutes.
