Newfoundland Prostate Health Self Test
Experiencing urinary issues, such as difficulty starting urination, weak stream, or frequent night-time urges? These could be signs of prostate problems. Our Prostate Test Kit measures PSA levels, a key indicator of prostate health. Early detection is vital for addressing potential issues effectively. Prioritise your prostate health and stay informed.
This kit is designed to be used at home with help from a medical professional or in a medical facility such as a clinic. It detects PSA levels in the blood.
By analysing just a small drop of your blood taken from your finger, you can test to see if there is evidence of heightened levels of PSA in your sample. PSA is the most useful and meaningful tumour marker for prostate cancer and prostate infection of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Our at-home test kit has a very high accuracy rate (almost 99%) and gives results in just five minutes. A positive result should be taken to your doctor for further investigation.
This test makes use of a combination of colloidal gold conjugate and anti-PSA antibodies to selectively detect total PSA in whole blood, serum or plasma. The test has a cut-off value of 4ng/ml.
The test’s membrane is pre-coated with PSA antibodies on the test line region. During testing, the specimen reacts with the particle coated with anti-PSA antibody. The mixture migrates upward on the membrane chromatographically by capillary action to react with anti-PSA antibodies on the membrane and generate a coloured line.
To serve as a procedural control, a coloured line will always appear in the control line region (C) indicating that the proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.
