Description
Benefits
The Clearview® FOB One Step Faecal Occult Blood Test Device is a rapid test to qualitatively detect low levels of Faecal Occult Blood. The test uses a double antibody sandwich assay to selectively detect Faecal Occult Blood at 50 ng/mL or higher, or 6 μg/g faeces. In addition, unlike guaiac assays, the accuracy of the test is not affected by the diet of the patients. A procedural control indicates that the proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.
