ColoScreen Occult Blood Tests 100 Slides, 2 x 15mL Developers, Applicators, 100/bx

ColoScreen Occult Blood Test for the Laboratory is a guaiac slide test used to detect occult blood in the fecal stool. Designed to help diagnose a number of gastrointestinal disorders from stool samples. 100 occult tests per box. *** Special Order 2 - 4 Weeks *** ColoScreen, like all guaiac paper tests for occult blood testing, is based on the oxidation of phenolic compounds present in the guaiac (i.e. guaiaconic acids) to quinones resulting in production of the blue color. When a fecal specimen containing occult blood is applied to the test paper, contact is made between hemoglobin and the guaia. A pseudoperoxidase reaction will occur upon the addition of the developer solution, with a blue chromogen formed proportionally to the concentration of hemoglobin's. The color reaction will occur after 30 seconds.
