Reliable Sensitivity Delivered Conveniently and Cost Effectively
The ROM Plus® Rupture of Membranes Tests are unique in that they detect 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.
There are two tests available:
ROM Plus® Rupture of Membranes Test
ROM Plus® ES Rupture of Membrane Test (Not available in the US)
Polyclonal & Monoclonal Antibody Approach:
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
Ease of Use:
15 Second Sample Collection
15 Second Mix Within Buffer Solution
Additionally, ROM Plus Rupture of Membranes Test has:
Spill resistant vial to avoid accidental spilling of buffer solution and/or sample
Easy to use test cassette with built in timer
Dual Protein Markers: IGFBP-1 & AFP
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
