GHM VB12 US Vitamin B12 Test Kit (FIA) – Quantitative, 15-Minute, Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma
GHM VB12 US Vitamin B12 Test Kit (FIA) – Quantitative, 15-Minute, Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma
SKU: GHM VB12 US
Brand: Global Healthcare Medical
Product Overview
Global Healthcare Medical GHM VB12 US Vitamin B12 Test Kit (FIA) is a fluorescence immunoassay (FIA) designed for the quantitative determination of Vitamin B12 (VB12) in human whole blood, serum, or plasma samples. The measurement of vitamin B12 is used as an aid in the diagnosis of Vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin that cannot be synthesized in the human body and is primarily obtained from meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. It plays an essential role in DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, and the maintenance of normal neurological function.
The GHM VB12 US is intended for use with the FIA Analyzer (VIM01), a compact benchtop analyzer that utilizes fluorescence immunochromatography technology. The analyzer features auto calibration, barcode identification, and a built-in memory capacity of 50,000 results. The analyzer delivers reliable results in 10 ± 5 seconds after the test device is inserted.
The system is designed for professional use in clinical laboratories, hospitals, and clinics. The FIA analyzer operates with a small sample volume and provides fast, reliable results with simple operation.
This product is for in vitro diagnostic use only. For professional use only.
Key Features & Benefits
Quantitative Vitamin B12 Measurement – Aid in Vitamin B12 Deficiency Assessment
The GHM VB12 US delivers quantitative vitamin B12 results, providing measurable concentration values that can be used as an aid in the diagnosis of Vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 deficiency is a common cause of megaloblastic anemia and can lead to neurological manifestations, including peripheral neuropathy and neuropsychiatric changes, if left untreated. Serum or plasma vitamin B12 measurement is the primary test performed to confirm the diagnosis of vitamin B12 deficiency.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Quantitative result | Provides measurable vitamin B12 concentration values |
| Specimen types | Whole blood, serum, plasma |
| Intended use | Aid in diagnosis of Vitamin B12 deficiency |
| Test time | 15 minutes |
| Assay range | 100 – 1,500 pg/mL |
| Clinical utility | Supports detection of vitamin B12 deficiency associated with megaloblastic anemia and neurological disorders |
Competitive Immunodetection Method – Fluorescence Immunoassay Principle
The GHM VB12 US uses a competitive immunodetection method. When the sample is added to the test device, the fluorescence-labeled anti-VB12 antibody binds to VB12 antigen in the sample. As the sample mixture migrates on the nitrocellulose membrane of the test strip by capillary action, the antigen-antibody complexes compete with immobilized VB12 antigen on the test line for binding to the fluorescent-labeled antibodies. An inverse relationship exists between the amount of VB12 antigen in the sample and the fluorescence signal captured on the test line. The analyzer processes the signal to display the vitamin B12 concentration in the sample.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Competitive immunodetection | Reliable quantitative measurement principle |
| Fluorescence signal | Measurable concentration values |
| Test strip technology | Immobilized VB12 antigen at test line; control line verification |
| Objective results | Results interpreted automatically by analyzer |
