Lactose intolerance is a common gastrointestinal disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. This condition is caused by the deficiency of lactase, an enzyme that breaks down lactose, a sugar found in dairy products. Individuals with lactose intolerance experience digestive symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea after consuming lactose-containing foods. The diagnosis of lactose intolerance is typically based on clinical symptoms and confirmed with lactose tolerance tests or genetic testing. However, these methods can be time-consuming and costly.

The Viennalab Lactose Intolerance StripAssay® is a rapid and reliable diagnostic tool that detects lactose intolerance by detecting the LCT gene variants associated with lactase non-persistence (LNP). The test is based on the reverse hybridization principle, using allele-specific probes to detect the presence or absence of LCT gene variants in genomic DNA samples. The Viennalab Lactose Intolerance StripAssay® is a qualitative test that provides clear results within two hours.

The Viennalab Lactose Intolerance StripAssay® is simple and easy to use, making it an ideal diagnostic tool for clinical laboratories. The test can be performed using standard laboratory equipment, and the protocol is straightforward, with minimal hands-on time. The test is suitable for a wide range of sample types, including whole blood, serum, plasma, and buccal swabs. The Viennalab Lactose Intolerance StripAssay® is highly specific and sensitive, with a detection limit of 5 ng/μL.

One of the key advantages of the Viennalab Lactose Intolerance StripAssay® is its ability to detect multiple LCT gene variants associated with LNP, including the C/T-13910 and G/A-22018 polymorphisms. These variants are prevalent in different populations worldwide, making the Viennalab Lactose Intolerance StripAssay® a versatile diagnostic tool for global use. The Viennalab Lactose Intolerance StripAssay® has been extensively validated in clinical studies and has shown high accuracy and reproducibility.

In conclusion, the Viennalab Lactose Intolerance StripAssay® is a rapid and reliable diagnostic tool for the detection of lactose intolerance. The test is easy to perform, highly specific and sensitive, and can detect multiple LCT gene variants associated with LNP. The Viennalab Lactose Intolerance StripAssay® is an ideal diagnostic tool for clinical laboratories, providing fast and accurate results for lactose intolerance diagnosis.
