Description

Accutest H. pylori Urease Test is a rapid diagnostic kit designed for the qualitative detection of urease enzyme activity in gastric mucosal biopsy specimens. It is used for the presumptive identification of Helicobacter pylori infection in symptomatic adult patients. The test is widely utilized in clinical settings for quick assessment of active infection.

The principle of the test is based on urease enzyme activity produced by H. pylori, which hydrolyzes urea and leads to a detectable change in the test medium. This reaction allows for rapid visual interpretation without the need for complex laboratory equipment or extended incubation procedures. The test is classified as CLIA waived and is considered a reliable method for routine diagnostic use.

Accutest H. pylori Urease Test is designed as a dry test format, requiring no refrigeration, reagents, or additional preparation steps. It provides rapid results, with positive outcomes detectable in as little as 1 minute and negative results confirmed within 60 minutes. The biopsy specimen is typically collected from the gastric antrum along the greater curvature for optimal diagnostic accuracy.
