Description
The Sekisui OSOM iFOB Test screens stool samples for hidden blood with an immunochemical cassette that targets human hemoglobin directly. Results develop in 5 to 10 minutes with less than 1 minute of hands on time, so screening programs can act on a finding the same day.
- Human Hemoglobin Specific – The assay reacts to human hemoglobin only, which removes the food and drug restrictions that complicate guaiac testing.
- One Sample per Patient – A single collection keeps participation high in mail out and in office colorectal screening programs.
- QC Inside – Each kit carries 2 additional test sticks for external quality control at no extra charge.
- Fast Read Time – Results in 5 to 10 minutes keep screening inside one visit or one processing run.
About This Immunochemical Fecal Occult Blood Test
Colorectal screening only works when patients complete the test, and this kit is built around a single sample collected into a buffered tube at home or in the office. The cassette then detects fecal occult blood immunochemically, as an aid in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal disorders such as diverticulitis, colitis, polyps and colorectal cancer.
Because the method targets human hemoglobin, patients skip the dietary and drug restrictions that cause incomplete guaiac cards. Patient mailers and refill collection tubes round out the program supplies, and a separate control kit gives the laboratory positive and negative materials for external quality checks.
Features and Benefits
Screening Workflow
- Single Sample Collection – One stool sample per patient replaces multi day card collections, which raises completion rates.
- No Dietary Preparation – Patients keep eating normally before collection, so fewer kits come back unfinished.
Kit System
- Analytical Sensitivity – The manufacturer states a detection level of 50 ng hHb/mL buffer or 50 µg hHb/g feces.
- Program Supplies – Mailers for patient return and a bottled control set support the full screening workflow.

Why Choose This FIT Kit for Screening Programs
Screening coordinators need a stool blood test that patients finish and staff can process without a bench analyzer. This kit pairs a one sample collection with a five to ten minute cassette read, so programs spend their time on follow up instead of chasing incomplete cards.
- Higher Completion – One sample and no diet rules mean more patients return a usable specimen, which is the outcome screening programs are measured on.
- Same Day Answers – A result inside 10 minutes lets staff document and act before the encounter or the mail in run closes.
- Built In QC Sticks – Two extra sticks ride in every kit for external quality control, a differentiator over kits that sell QC materials only as add ons.
- Full Program Range – Mailers and collection tubes under the same catalog family keep reordering simple for program managers.

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.
Do patients need to change their diet before collection?
No diet change is needed, because the assay targets human hemoglobin rather than dietary peroxidase activity. Food, vitamins and iron supplements do not need to be restricted.
How fast are results ready?
The cassette develops a readable result in 5 to 10 minutes, with less than 1 minute of hands on time. Staff can document the result during the same visit or processing run.
What does the control kit configuration include?
The control kit holds one 1 mL bottle of positive control and one 1 mL bottle of negative control. It supports external quality control for the test kit.
What are the patient mailers used for?
The mailers give patients a compliant way to return their collected sample to the laboratory or clinic. They are packaged 25 per box to match the test kit count.
