QuickVue H. Pylori Test

The QuickVue H. pylori Test detects IgG antibodies specific to Helicobacter pylori in human serum, plasma or whole blood. It utilizes a convenient, non-invasive, and easy to perform test methodology to aid in the diagnosis of H. pylori. The test is easy to perform in a one-step procedure using two hanging drops of whole blood. Serum and plasma can also be used.

Now there’s a tool that helps you determine the presence of H. pylori in a few minutes. Before you write another prescription for an H-2 antagonist or proton pump inhibitor, take a few minutes to test your ulcer patients for H. pylori. H. pylori is responsible for more than 80% of all gastric ulcers and is classified by the W.H.O. as a group I carcinogen.
