Hemoccult II SENSA Test Kit, Single Slide – Beckman Coulter
The Hemoccult II SENSA Test Kit, Single Slide by Beckman Coulter is a guaiac-based fecal occult blood test (gFOBT) designed to help detect hidden (occult) blood in stool specimens. Occult blood may be associated with gastrointestinal bleeding and can be an important indicator that further clinical evaluation is needed. This single-slide format supports convenient, specimen-by-specimen collection and testing workflows in clinical screening and diagnostic settings.
Hemoccult II SENSA uses a guaiac-impregnated paper test system that develops a visible color change when hemoglobin-associated peroxidase activity is present and the developer is applied. The SENSA formulation is intended to provide high sensitivity for the detection of fecal occult blood while maintaining compatibility with established gFOBT procedures. The kit is commonly used as part of colorectal cancer screening programs and for evaluation of suspected gastrointestinal bleeding, as directed by institutional protocols and ordering clinicians.
Intended Use
This test kit is intended for the qualitative detection of occult blood in fecal specimens. Results should be interpreted in conjunction with patient history, dietary/medication considerations, and other diagnostic information. Positive findings typically warrant follow-up testing or endoscopic evaluation per clinical guidelines.
Key Features
- Single-slide format suitable for flexible collection and processing volumes.
- Guaiac-based methodology with visible colorimetric interpretation after developer application.
- High-sensitivity SENSA system designed for reliable detection of low-level occult blood.
- Simple workflow supporting routine screening and diagnostic testing programs.
- Recognized brand from Beckman Coulter, widely used in clinical environments.
How It Works (Overview)
- Stool specimen is applied to the designated windows on the slide according to instructions for use.
- The slide is closed and allowed to dry/hold as specified by the manufacturer prior to development.
- Developer is applied to the reverse side test areas.
- A color change indicates a positive reaction consistent with the presence of occult blood.
Applications
- Colorectal cancer screening support programs using gFOBT methodologies.
- Assessment of possible gastrointestinal bleeding when ordered by a clinician.
- Routine testing in clinics, physician offices, and laboratory collection workflows.
Important Considerations
As with all gFOBTs, dietary factors, medications, and specimen handling conditions can affect results. Users should follow the current instructions for use, including any recommended patient preparation, storage conditions, timing, and quality control practices. This test is intended for professional use in accordance with local regulations and facility procedures.
