- Format – Immunochemical fecal occult blood test cassette kit.
- Read time – Results in five minutes from a single sample.
- Sensitivity – Detects human hemoglobin at 50 ng/mL, as stated by the manufacturer.
- Packaging – Box of 30 test cassettes with 35 collection tubes and external controls.
About This Fecal Occult Blood Test Kit
Colorectal screening programs need a stool blood test that patients complete correctly and staff can run without a lab bench. This immunochemical kit targets human hemoglobin directly, which removes the food, vitamin and iron restrictions that complicate older guaiac testing. A patient collects one sample in the buffered tube, and the cassette develops a readable result in five minutes.
The manufacturer states specificity of 100 percent for the assay, which helps programs trust a negative screen. Boxes carry 24 month dating and store at room temperature, so clinics can stock ahead of screening drives without cold storage.

Why Choose the FIT Kit for Screening Programs
Screening coordinators choose this kit because the single sample format raises completion rates over multi day guaiac cards. The five minute read keeps results inside the same visit or the same mail in processing run.
- Higher completion – One sample and no diet rules mean more patients finish the test, which is the outcome screening programs are measured on.
- Same day answers – A five minute cassette read lets staff document and act on results before the patient encounter closes.
- Guideline aligned method – The immunochemical method matches the FIT approach recommended for colorectal screening, unlike older guaiac cards.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many samples does each patient provide?
Each patient provides one stool sample in the collection tube. The single sample format is the main reason programs pick this kit over multi day guaiac cards.
How fast are results ready?
The cassette reads in five minutes after the sample is applied. Staff can document the result during the same visit or processing run.
Do patients need to change their diet before the test?
No diet change is needed, because the assay targets human hemoglobin rather than dietary peroxidase activity. Food, vitamins and iron do not need to be restricted.
What comes in one box?
One box holds 30 test cassettes, 35 collection tubes and one positive and one negative external control bottle. The extra tubes cover repeat collections and program spares.
How should the kit be stored?
Store the kit at room temperature until the printed dating. The box carries 24 month dating, which suits clinics that stock ahead of screening campaigns.
