Tumour detection detection kit

hemoglobinhydrogen peroxideblood

The heme group of blood (hemoglobin in particular) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide oxidizes alpha-guaiaconic acid (a component of guaiac resin, a substance produced from the Guaiacum tree species) to blue-green colored qui- none within 30-180 seconds. The card test contains a special filter paper impregnated with natural guaiac resin and a color reagent containing hy- drogen peroxide. The blue-green color produced after the addition of hydro- gen peroxide helps in the detection of occult (hidden) blood. INTENDED USE Turklab’s Gikan card test is a card test for the qualitative de- tection of occult (hidden) blood in stool as an aid in the de- tection and diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases.
