Found in most living organisms, including humans, it helps regulate iron balance and prevents iron deficiency or overload. In the body, ferritin is mainly present in cells but also appears in small amounts in the blood, where it acts as an iron carrier. Serum ferritin levels serve as an indirect measure of total body iron and are used to diagnose iron deficiency anemia. Structurally, ferritin is a 24-subunit globular protein complex that keeps iron in a soluble, non-toxic form. The iron-free form is called apoferritin. The Human Ferritin Antigen Rapid Test Kit (Colloidal Gold) qualitatively detects ferritin in whole blood, serum, or plasma using a double antibody sandwich assay, with a detection limit as low as 20 ng\/mL.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheck \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1827\/3323\/files\/Encore_-_Ferritin_-_EN_-_VER_01.pdf?v=1767249447\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eInstructions For Use (Pack Insert)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Enssure","offers":[{"title":"10 TESTS \/ Exp.: FEB 2027 \/ Exp.: MAY 2027","offer_id":51683174351147,"sku":null,"price":800.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1827\/3323\/files\/FERR_-_05.jpg?v=1774064621"},{"product_id":"fecal-occult-blood-fob","title":"Fecal Occult Blood (FOB)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eColorectal cancer is the second leading cause of illness and death in Western world. The screening with faecal occult blood tests is based on the concept that important target colonic neoplasm, such as early-stage cancer and large adenomatous polyps, will bleed, for which may be detected by an occult blood test. Colorectal cancer is also associated with local acute inflammatory reaction being visualized, in some cases, by white cell neutrophil scanning. Haemoglobin is the iron-containing oxygen-transport protein in the red blood cells of all vertebrates that may be leaked into gastrointestinal tract and then discharged with the feces in gastrointestinal bleeding diseases. When gastrointestinal blood is lost, the stool will contain a combination of intact or nearly intact haemoglobin, intact heme and heme-derived porphyrins in amounts that depend on the site and amount of bleeding and the transit time through the gut. Immunochemical tests detect intact or nearly intact human haemoglobin, being a very specific technique for detecting loss of blood from the lower intestine, because blood from lower sites is less degraded during transit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheck \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1827\/3323\/files\/ENCORE_-_Haemoglobin_FOB_-_EN_-_VER_02.pdf?v=1767249267\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eInstructions For Use (Pack Insert)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Enssure","offers":[{"title":"10 Tests \/ Exp.: Jan 2027","offer_id":51677601890603,"sku":null,"price":300.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1827\/3323\/files\/FOB_28dc7f59-2450-4757-8dd4-6ecef6ea8855.jpg?v=1766992483"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1827\/3323\/collections\/CA_-_01.jpg?v=1766644024","url":"https:\/\/shop.encorebiomedicals.com\/collections\/cancer-marker.oembed","provider":"Encore Biomedicals ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
