We would like to introduce the first and only kit that supports the early diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer (CRC). A non invasive test with a turnaround time from tissue to result is less than 3 hours with only 10 minutes of hands-on-time.
Colorectal Cancer testing
Up to the last five years, using stool samples to test for CRC didn’t really exist – the conventional wisdom was that there was so little human DNA in stool that it would be impossible to check for the genetic mutations that are indicative of cancer. For most people, the only option was to undergo screening with colonoscopy in five or 10-year intervals. And although other options exist, such as fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) or fecal immunochemical testing, direct imaging of the colon seemed to be the most reliable way to check for early signs of cancer, until now…
EasyPGX ready FL-DNA
The Diatech EasyPGX ready FL-DNA (cod. RT029) kit is the first and only available kit for in vitro diagnostic use which allows the quantitative determination of DNA fragments with dimensions > 200bp present in the faeces. The quantitative analysis of DNA extracted from faeces in association with FOB test, represents a useful tool to improve early diagnosis of CRC by estimating the probability of CRC presence.
