Anti-Streptol Olysin O Titer (ASOT)
$24.23
Anti-Streptol Olysin O Titer (ASOT) is a quantitative or semi-quantitative serological test (latex agglutination, turbidimetry, nephelometry, or ELISA) for detecting antibodies against streptolysin O, an exotoxin produced by Group A Streptococcus. Elevated or rising titers indicate recent streptococcal infection and are essential for diagnosing post-streptococcal sequelae including acute rheumatic fever (Jones criteria) and post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. The test requires serum samples; acute and convalescent (2-4 weeks apart) with fourfold rise confirms recent infection. Reference range typically <200-250 Todd units/mL (adults), varies by age and population. Primary clinical applications include diagnosis of Group A streptococcal infections, acute rheumatic fever evaluation, post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis diagnosis, differentiation of acute vs. past infection, evaluation of unexplained arthritis or carditis, pediatric inflammatory conditions (PANDAS), and monitoring disease activity in rheumatic fever. Critical safety precautions include proper timing of acute and convalescent samples, awareness of false negatives/positives, clinical correlation for diagnosis, and standard biohazard precautions. Essential test for rheumatology, nephrology, cardiology, and infectious disease practice.
Blood Grouping kit

CRP Test Kit
$1.00
CRP Test Kit (C-Reactive Protein) is a quantitative or semi-quantitative immunoassay (latex agglutination, turbidimetry, nephelometry, ELISA, or rapid immunochromatographic) for detecting C-reactive protein in blood, an acute-phase reactant produced in response to inflammation. Rapid rise within 6-12 hours, peaks at 24-48 hours, half-life 19 hours. Normal <5-10 mg/L; mild elevation 10-100 mg/L (viral infections, autoimmune flares); moderate 100-200 mg/L (bacterial infections); marked >200 mg/L (sepsis, major trauma). High-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) detects 0.1-10 mg/L for cardiovascular risk stratification (<1 mg/L low risk, 1-3 mg/L moderate, >3 mg/L high). Primary clinical applications include detection and monitoring of inflammation, diagnosis and management of infections (differentiating bacterial from viral), assessment of autoimmune disease activity, post-surgical monitoring for complications, cardiovascular risk screening (hs-CRP), monitoring rheumatic fever and inflammatory conditions, and neonatal sepsis evaluation. Critical safety precautions include proper sample handling (universal precautions), quality control verification, awareness of non-specific elevation, prozone phenomenon in very high concentrations, and clinical correlation for interpretation. Essential test for evaluating inflammation across all medical specialties.
H.pylori test kits (Antigen)
$1.00
H.pylori test kits (Antigen) are Class II medical devices (FDA-cleared/CE-marked) for rapid immunochromatographic or enzyme immunoassay detection of Helicobacter pylori antigens in stool specimens, enabling non-invasive diagnosis of active infection and post-treatment eradication confirmation. Test principles use monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies specific to H. pylori antigens, producing visible results in 10-20 minutes (rapid tests) or 1-2 hours (EIA). Sensitivity 90-98%, specificity 92-99% compared to gold standard methods. Primary clinical applications include rapid diagnosis of H. pylori infection in patients with dyspepsia, initial screening in uncomplicated dyspepsia (test-and-treat strategy), confirmation of active infection before therapy, post-treatment eradication confirmation (4-6 weeks after therapy), pediatric testing (preferred non-invasive method), screening in high-risk populations (family history of gastric cancer), and monitoring in patients with peptic ulcer disease or MALT lymphoma. Critical safety precautions include mandatory washout period (4 weeks off antibiotics, 2 weeks off PPIs) to avoid false negatives, proper specimen handling (universal precautions), refrigerated storage of kits (2-30°C), quality control verification, and disposal as biohazardous waste. Essential non-invasive tool for H. pylori management in gastroenterology and primary care.
