SCREEN TEST PSA Prostate-Specific Antigen Rapid Test REF: TPS-402(SC-0890-40) Rapid test for the qualitative diagnosis of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) in whole blood, serum or plasma. For professional in vitro diagnostic use only. The Prostate Specific Antigen PSA Semi-Quantitative Rapid Test (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the semi-quantitative detection of Prostate Specific Antigen in whole blood, serum or plasma. The prostate specific antigen (PSA) is produced by the endothelial and glandular cells of the prostate. It is a single chain glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 34 kDa1. PSA exists in three main forms circulating in the serum. These forms are free PSA, PSA bound to α1 – Antichimotrypsin (PSA-ACT) and PSA complex with α2 – macroglobulin (PSA-MG).

PSA exists in three main forms circulating in the serum. These forms are free PSA, PSA bound to α1 – Antichimotrypsin (PSA-ACT) and PSA complex with α2 – macroglobulin (PSA-MG). PSA has been detected in various tissues of the male urogenital system, but only the endothelial and glandular cells of the prostate secrete it. The serum PSA level of a healthy man is between 0.1 ng/mL and 2.6 ng/mL.
