PSA Serum Rapid Test Background Information:
Prostate cancer is the one of the most common types of cancer found in man. The incidence of prostate cancer increases with age and accounts for a growing number of newly diagnosed patients. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is produced primarily in the prostate gland and is secreted into the prostate ducts and at ejaculation serves to liquefy the seminal coagulum. Virtually all healthy males under 50 years of age have PSA concentration under 4.0 ng/ml. If PSA level is above 20 ng/ml, the patient most likely to have prostate cancer. Some studies indicated that elevated total PSA levels are found in serum from patients who have prostate cancer cells metastasized throughout their bodies. Other studies indicated that Free PSA, which cannot foam a complex with serine protease tends to be more abundant in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Diagnostic Automation PSA test use antibodies which can equally recognize both free PSA and PSA-ACT complex.




PSA Serum Rapid Test Principle:
Cortez Diagnostics PSA test is a sandwich immunoassay. When serum sample is added to sample pad, it moves through the conjugate pad and mobilizes gold anti-PSA conjugate that is coated on the conjugate pad. The mixture moves along the membrane by capillary action and reacts with anti-PSA antibody that is coated on the test region. If PSA is present, the result is the formation of a colored band in the test region. The color intensity is dependent on the concentration of PSA in the sample. On the other hand, a light color band will always appear at the control zone. This control band serves as a reference of 4.0 ng/ml of PSA. For additional details please refer to the instructions for use.
