Laboratory tester ROM PLUS®

hand-heldproteinalpha-fetoprotein

ROM Plus® Rupture of Membranes Test is unique in that it detects both Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 1 (IGFBP-1) using a monoclonal/polyclonal antibody approach–improving its sensitivity. Timely and accurate diagnosis of PROM allows for gestational age-specific interventions designed to minimize the potential risk of complications to both mother and baby. Reduces the chance of false negatives Provides a better “screening” method to detect the presence of protein markers Improves the opportunity for denatured protein detection AmniSure and Actim PROM tests only employ a monoclonal antibody approach 15 Second Sample Collection 15 Second Mix Within Buffer Solution Spill resistant vial to avoid accidental spilling of buffer solution and/or sample Easy to use test cassette with built in timer IGFBP-1 is detected early in first trimester and “plateaus” throughout the duration of the pregnancy AFP is detected at the end of the 2nd trimester/beginning of the 3rd trimester (< 37 weeks) where full confidence is required in the accurate diagnosis AmniSure and Actim PROM tests only employ one protein marker
