Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a gram negative rod bacterial pathogen that resides in the mucous layer of the antral and fundal gastric epithelium and occasionally in ectopic gastric tissue in the duodenum or esophagus.

The QuickVue H. pylori Test detects IgG antibodies specific to Helicobacter pylori in human serum, plasma or whole blood. It utilizes a convenient, non-invasive, and easy to perform test methodology to aid in the diagnosis of H. pylori. The test is easy to perform in a one-step procedure using two hanging drops of whole blood. Serum and plasma can also be used.

The QuickVue TLI H. pylori Stool Antigen Test is a rapid membrane enzyme immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Helicobacter pylori specific antigen in a single use cassette. It uses human fecal specimens to aid in the diagnosis of H. pylori infection and to demonstrate loss of H. pylori antigen following treatment. The test can be used with unpreserved fecal specimens and fecal specimens preserved in transport media from patients suspected of H. pylori infection.
