The StrongStep® Procalcitonin Test is a rapid immune-chromatographic assay for the semi-quantitative detection of Procalcitonin in human serum or plasma. It is used for diagnosing and controlling the treatment of severe, bacterial infection and sepsis.
Procalcitonin(PCT)
is a small protein that comprises 116 amino acid residues with a
molecular weight of approximately 13 kDa which was first described
by Moullec et al. in 1984.
PCT is produced normally in C-cells of the thyroid glands. In 1993,
the elevated level of PCT in patients with a system infection of
bacterial origin was reported and PCT is now considered to be the
main marker of disorders accompanied by systemic inflammation and
sepsis. The diagnostic value of PCT is important due to the close
correlation between PCT concentration and the severity of
inflammation. It was shown that "inflammatory" PCT is not produced
in C-cells. Cells of neuroendocrine origin are presumably the source
of PCT during inflammation.
H. pylori Antigen Rapid Test
Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium that can inhabit various areas of the stomach, particularly the antrum. It causes a chronic low-level inflammation of the stomach lining and is strongly linked to the development of duodenal and gastric ulcers and stomach cancer. More than 50% of the world's population harbor H. pylori in their upper gastrointestinal tract. But approximately Over 80% of individuals infected with the bacterium are asymptomatic
