Rapid testing for Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) can help support the investigation of suspected C. difficile infection and toxin-associated gastrointestinal disease. Biopanda offers a range of C. difficile Rapid Tests for the qualitative detection of GDH antigen and C. difficile Toxins A and B in human faecal samples, providing clear visual results in just 10 minutes. The range includes individual C. difficile GDH and Toxin A+B tests, alongside a combination test for the simultaneous detection of GDH, Toxin A and Toxin B, providing flexible rapid testing solutions for healthcare professionals and clinical laboratories.

Why Test for Clostridioides difficile?
Why Test for Clostridioides difficile?
Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) is a bacterium associated with gastrointestinal infection and can cause symptoms ranging from diarrhoea to more serious inflammation of the colon. C. difficile infection is particularly associated with disruption of the normal intestinal microbiota, which can occur following antibiotic treatment.
Laboratory testing plays an important role in the investigation of suspected C. difficile infection (CDI). Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) is an antigen produced by C. difficile and can be used as a marker for the presence of the organism, while detection of Toxins A and B can provide information relating to toxigenic C. difficile.
Rapid C. difficile testing provides a convenient method for detecting relevant antigens directly from faecal samples. Depending on testing requirements, GDH and C. difficile toxins may be tested individually or together as part of a combination assay.
Biopanda offers rapid tests for C. difficile GDH antigen, Toxins A+B, and a combination of GDH with Toxins A and B, with visually read results in just 10 minutes. These tests provide practical screening solutions for healthcare and laboratory professionals investigating suspected C. difficile infection, with results interpreted alongside clinical findings and other appropriate diagnostic procedures.
