The infection of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is associated with a variety of gastro-intestinal diseases, such as stomach ulcer, chronic active gastritis and gastric, duodenal and gastric adenocarcinoma. Antibodies to H. pylori are developed in individuals infected with H. pylori as a serological response. Detecting these specific antibodies to H. pylori can be use as a qualitative assay in the diagnosis of H. pylori infection. It may be used either as an adjunction to endoscopy or as an alternative measure in symptomatic patients.

The H. pylori Rapid Test is a chromatographic immunoassay (CIA) for the rapid determination of antibodies to H. pylori in serum specimens. The test is to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of infection due to H. pylori.
