Sample cups, for use on the HM-JACKarc for faecal immunochemical testing.

The HM-JACKarc sample cups are small analyser cups for the running of calibrators, controls, and diluted patient samples on the HM-JACKarc. The HM-JACKarc analyser is a quantitative faecal immunochemical testing analyser used in the quantification of haemoglobin in faeces.

Background:
Blood in faeces could be a symptom of a range of gastroenterological complaints: colorectal cancer (CRC), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and diverticular disease, for example. The use of a marker such as blood in the stool has been used for CRC screening programmes for over 10-years, originally with a guaiac based, qualitative technology, referred to as faecal occult blood (gFOB). The faecal immunochemical test is now used in symptomatic referral and screening programmes, to help triage patient care appropriately, identify bowel cancer earlier, and improve laboratory workflow.

Product Specification:
Each pack of Sample Cups comes in a bag of 500 analyser cups, for use with HM-JACKarc calibrators, controls, and diluted patient samples. For use with calibrators and control, the cups are loaded onto the specific calibrator and control racks and run as per normal patient samples. For use with diluted patient samples, the sample cups can be added to a sample rack with a spacer.

Handling and Storage:
Can be stored at room temperature, out of direct sunlight.
