2San H.Pylori (Stomach Ulcer) Test
2San H.Pylori (Stomach Ulcer) Test is a simple stool antigen test that detects the presence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a common cause of stomach ulcers, with results in just 10 minutes.
Stomach ulcers, also known as gastric ulcers, are open sores that develop on the lining of the stomach. In up to 90% of cases, they are due to an infection caused by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). H.pylori is a small, spiral-shaped bacterium that lives in the surface of the stomach and duodenum. 2San H.Pylori (Stomach Ulcer) Test specifically detects the antigens in faeces to quickly determine the presence of the bacterium.
2San H.Pylori (Stomach Ulcer) Test can be performed anytime of the day and can be performed in cases of repeated stomach and intestinal troubles (GERD, gastritis etc.).
If the result is positive, it means that the H.pylori antigens were detected in faeces and you should consult a doctor and show the test result. Then, the doctor will decide whether additional analysis should be performed. If the result is negative, it means that it was not possible to detect the H.pylori antigens. If your symptoms persist, it is recommended that you consult a doctor.

Directions
- Collect stool specimen in the collection paper.

Cautions
The results are accurate when the instructions are carefully respected. Results can be incorrect if the cassette gets wet before performing the test or if the quantity of faeces dispensed in the sample well is too much or insuffcient, or if the number of extracted specimen drops are less than 2 or more than 3. The chances of false results are rare, but possible, due to immunological principles. A follow-up consultation with the doctor is always recommended.
