Faecal occult blood test

Monday, 01 December, 2008 | Supplied by: Alere Australia


The ColonView quick test from Biohit can be used for identification of patients with faecal occult blood, a known marker for colorectal cancer and pre-cancerous large adenomas. ColonView testing can also give information on other possible diseases of the gastrointestinal tract that are associated with bleeding.

The ColonView Hb test detects human haemoglobin (Hb) from red blood cells and the ColonView Hb/Hp test detects haemoglobin/haptoglobin complex (Hb/Hp). They are immunological tests that specifically detect human faecal occult blood, so the patient does not require a special diet on the days before or during sample collection.

Patients can collect faecal samples at home on three consecutive days with the specific sample collection kit provided by the laboratory and forward the samples to the laboratory for single-step testing.
