Description:
The Biopanda Bacterial Gastrointestinal Combo Rapid Test is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Shigella flexneri, Shigella sonnei, Vibrio Cholerae 01, Vibrio cholerae O139, C. difficile GDH, and C. difficile Toxin A and B in a person’s stool sample. This test is for in vitro diagnostic use only by a trained healthcare professional.
Gastrointestinal infections can be caused by a variety of bacterial pathogens and may result in similar clinical symptoms, including diarrhoea, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Identifying the potential causative pathogen can therefore help support differential diagnosis and appropriate patient management.
Shigella, Vibrio cholerae and Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) are important bacterial causes of gastrointestinal disease. Rapid testing provides a convenient way to screen stool samples for relevant pathogen markers and can help healthcare professionals investigate suspected bacterial gastrointestinal infections.
Multiplex gastrointestinal testing offers the additional advantage of screening for several important pathogens or markers within a single testing procedure. The Biopanda Bacterial Gastrointestinal Combo Rapid Test detects Shigella, V. cholerae and C. difficile targets, providing visual results in 10 minutes.
The test is intended for professional in vitro diagnostic use and should be used alongside clinical assessment and other appropriate diagnostic procedures.
