Thyroid Test (TSH Rapid Test)

TEST SCIENCE

The blood obtained from finger prick will undergo rapid test for the identification of TSH ( Thyroid stimulating hormone). After the addition of sample into the cassette well the sample will react with the immobilized anti-TSH antibody coated on the test region and form red colour line on test region and control indicating the presence of TSH greater than 5 μIU/mL point out high levels of TSH than the normal level. Only control line and no test line indicate the TSH are within the normal range.
