GastroPanel® quick test 

GastroPanel® quick test can be performed during a clinical appointment from a fingertip blood drop. The new test is an advanced version of Biohit´s unique GastroPanel® stomach health test. GastroPanel® quick test differs from the current clinical test version by giving the results immediately during a single clinical appointment. The GastroPanel® quick test saves costs and unnecessary clinical appointments as well as speeds up the referral to further examinations and eventual treatment, which significantly improves the patient safety.

Studies based on a long-term follow-up show consistently that the markers of GastroPanel® test indicating atrophic gastritis are highly reliable predictors of gastric cancer risk even at a 15-year time span. Similarly, the long-term negative predictive value of normal GastroPanel® test result is over 95 %, which helps identifying the high-risk persons also in a population-based screening (1).

GastroPanel® quick test is a diagnostic test for stomach health on symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. GastroPanel® quick test is based on immunoassay method for GastroPanel® biomarkers in a blood sample (2). Also the results of GastroPanel® quick test are interpreted with the GastroSoft-program.

GastroPanel quick test will be available in Europe as soon as the CE IVD certification process is completed.
