Blood in stool is an indication of a number of gastrointestinal disorders, including colorectal cancer. The QuickVue iFOB Test requires only one specimen, and because it is specific to human hemoglobin, patients are not required to adhere to strict dietary or medication restrictions. Features & benefits Immunochemical test, which is specific to human hemoglobin, unlike Guaiac–based tests which also detect dietary peroxidases from meat and uncooked fruits and vegetable.
