Gastrointestinal
Point-of-care rapid testing for gastrointestinal. OEM/ODM manufacturer.
Overview
Gastrointestinal infections (viral, bacterial, parasitic) and inflammatory bowel markers are common point-of-care needs.
Diagnostic Markers & Methods
Rotavirus/Adenovirus/Norovirus antigen · C. difficile (GDH + toxin) · Giardia/Cryptosporidium · Calprotectin/Lactoferrin (IBD) · FOB.
Testing Window
Antigen detectable during active pathogen shedding.
Interpretation
Antigen detection indicates active shedding; calprotectin/lactoferrin support IBD vs functional distinction, not diagnosis alone.
Confirmatory Testing
Culture or molecular (PCR) testing where required.
The Author's Take
Position: Bundle the gastro panel — rota/adeno/noro combo plus calprotectin — because primary-care buyers want one supplier for the whole GI screen.
- Viral gastro combos cover the common pediatric pathogens in one device.
- Calprotectin/lactoferrin add the IBD-vs-functional distinction that GPs ask for.
- Low-MOQ, mixed-format catalog fill is the value for smaller distributors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which viruses does a gastro rapid test panel cover?
Common panels detect rotavirus, adenovirus and norovirus — alone or in combination devices.
What does calprotectin tell you?
Fecal calprotectin distinguishes inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from functional disorders (IBS) — elevated levels indicate gut inflammation.
Is FOB testing useful for colorectal screening?
Yes — fecal occult blood testing is a first-line screening tool; a positive result requires colonoscopy follow-up.
