One Step Rapid stomach infection - C14 Urea Breath Test Kit for H . Pylori Detection
Rapid Test Device For H.pylori Rapid Test Kit(14C Urea Breath Test) description:
Principle of 14C-Urea Breath Test :
H. pylori produce an enzyme, urease, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea to ammonium and carbon
dioxide. H. pylori require the alkaline ammonium in order to establish an optimal local mucosal
environment within the acidic milieu of the stomach. The produced carbon dioxide (CO2) is diffused
into the blood vessels and is further transported as bicarbonate to the lungs where it is exhaled as
CO2 with the exhaled air. This is used in the Urea Breath Test method (UBT).
When performing the UBT, the patient is given an oral dose of 14C labeled urea. If H. pylori are
present in the stomach, hydrolysis takes place, and the produced CO2 will contain the labeled 14C. In
the absence of hydrolysis, all of the administered urea will pass through the stomach intact to be
absorbed further down in the gastrointestinal tract, and excreted in the
urine.
Bacteria other than H. pylori that found in the gastric flora. The presence or absence of a H. pylori
infection can thus be determined by detecting if labeled CO2 is present in exhaled air shortly after
intake of labeled urea.
