Pylori DuoTect -H. pylori Rapid Test Kit
Pylori DuoTect® - Smart, quick and Accurate. 2 very sensitive and specific H. pylori infection markers guarantee the highest sensitivity. We are certainly not the first manufacturers of H. pylori rapid tests to detect the infection. But what differentiates our test from others is the approach: Instead of using lysate, our test works with two very sensitive and very specific H. pylori antigens: FliD and CagA.
While H. pylori has a multitude of strains worldwide, the capping protein FliD is part of each H. pylori flagella, no matter where in the world it may be, and is our first marker for an H. pylori infection. Our second marker, CagA, is a well-known indicator for H. pylori infections and also serves as an additional risk factor for the development of peptic ulcers and gastric cancer.
Togehter, the two markers increase sensitivity and provide additional information about the patient’s infection and risk stratification.
Clinical performance has proven that Pylori DuoTect® can compete with current diagnostic gold standards (Sensitivity >95%) and reliably detects an H. pylori infection.
ImevaX holds the patent for the detection of FliD antibodies.

1. Step-by- Step Video
An accurate diagnosis starts with accurate results. Even though DuoTect® is very easy to use, it is important to familiarize yourself with its handling to achieve the best results.
In this video you will learn the most important steps in conducting the test with whole blood.
If you want to use Pylori DuoTect® with serum or plasma, please consult the Instructions for Use.
2. Interpretation of Results
Up to three lines can appear on the membrane which is rather unusual compared to other rapid tests.
No worries: An overview that helps you with the interpretation is presented below.
For your convenience, we have created a downloadable PDF in A4 format, ready to print.
