Iron deficiency is common in people of all ages, especially women and children. The main symptoms are pallor, tiredness, fatigue, headaches, hair loss, rapid heartbeat or shortness of breath. They can appear gradually and go unnoticed. With our rapid test, you can determine whether there is an iron deficiency that may be the cause of your symptoms. The test analyses the ferritin concentration in your blood and provides information about your storage iron levels. This allows you to recognise an iron deficiency as early as possible.

- Accuracy: The ferritin rapid test cassette has been compared with a leading commercial ferritin CLIA test. The correlation between these two systems is over 95.0 %

- Intra-assay: Intra-assay precision was determined using 10 replicates of three samples: 0 ng/ml, 30 ng/ml and 100 ng/ml samples. Samples were correctly identified > 99% of the time

- Inter-assay: Inter-assay precision was determined using 10 independent assays with the same three samples: 0 ng/ml ferritin, 30 ng/ml ferritin, 100 ng/ml ferritin standard sample. Three different batches of the ferritin rapid test cassette were tested with these samples. The samples were correctly identified in > 99 % of cases

- Analytical sensitivity: The ferritin rapid test for home use can detect ferritin levels in the blood of up to 30 ng/ml

- Cross-reactivity: An evaluation was performed to determine the cross-reactivity and interference of the Ferritin Rapid Test. There is no cross-reactivity with HAMA, RF, human serum albumin, human AFP, ferric chloride, human transferrin and human haemoglobin

- Easy to perform: The home test is quick and easy to use and can be performed without medical knowledge
