Wash liquid for use on the HM-JACKarc analyser for faecal immunochemical tetsing

The Auto-Wash H Wash detergent is a solution designed to clean the reagent lines of the HM-JACKarc analyser. The wash is for use in faecal immunochemical testing for 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:
One bottle of 200 ml of wash is provided concentrated and requires dilution prior to use. Dilute 1 ml of Autowash H into 1 litre of deionised water

Handling and Storage:
Store at room temperature out of direct sunlight. Do not freeze. Once opened, the wash liquid is stable until the expiry date. Diluted wash solution is stable for 30-days.
