Lactose intolerance quick test

Rapid and easy lactose intolerance testing from a duodenal biopsy

Lactose intolerance (hypolactasia) results in inability to digest lactose, the predominant sugar of milk. This inability results from a shortage of the lactase enzyme, which is produced in the small intestine. Often the symptoms remain undiagnosed, and thus lactose intolerance may not be treated for years.

Lactose Intolerance quick test is a qualitative in vitro test based on biochemical color reaction, supporting the diagnosis of lactose intolerance from a biopsy specimen. A clear color change indicates the test result in just 20 minutes, enabling rapid testing and reporting during endoscopy. This test is intended for healthcare professionals.
