Product Information

The issue of hygienically collecting a stool sample at home is not just confined to Scotland nor is it confined to colorectal/bowel cancer screening. HyStool® can be used for any medical test that requires the submission of a stool sample test including the calprotectin stool test, Crohn’s disease, Heliobacter pylori testing and Colitis.

By testing the levels of these substances and bacteria in your poo, it's possible to work out what's happening in your digestive system. Martin, M. Cutadapt removes adapter sequences from high-throughput sequencing reads. EMBnet.journal 17, 10 (2011).We use comprehensive stool testing: an analysis of the health of your gut. We’re not looking for disease or infection: only your doctor can do that. A healthcare professional will explain to you how to collect the sample. You’ll usually get a clean, dry screw-top container to store your stool and a plastic container to use to ‘catch’ it. You should try not to get any urine in the sample. Total n = 480. Values are n (%) or median (IQR). 1 Independent samples t-test (parametric) and Wilcoxon rank sum tests (non-parametric) for continuous variables and Fisher’s exact tests for categorical variables. * Statistically significant at p< 0.05. Or as a much simpler and more hygienic alternative we suggest you use the biodegradable, hygienic Hystool® stool collection device.

Wear gloves and wash your hands carefully after doing the test to avoid passing on an infection. Discard the remaining contents of the plastic container into the toilet. It contains supply to collect 20 skin samples including skin biopsy punch and scalpels disposable, Paraformaldehyde 8% and wound closure strips.

Santiago-Rodriguez, T. M. et al. Metagenomic information recovery from human stool samples is influenced by sequencing depth and profiling method. Genes Basel. 11, 1380 (2020). Scientists have discovered that tumours ‘communicate’ with the gut microbiome and vice versa (Source: NCBI). Chronic fatigue syndrome Microbiome profiles may be misrepresented due to subsampling of non-homogenized stool as it has previously been shown that large variations in bacterial abundance detected via qPCR in non-homogenized stool samples were significantly reduced after stool homogenization 13. In addition, the effects of sub-sampling stool may be further amplified when performing metabolomic analyses, as highly sensitive techniques are used 8, 14. Lastly, microbiome profiles can also be influenced by sequencing depth, as shown by random subsampling of shotgun metagenomic sequence data 15. There are other stool tests which are sometimes done to diagnose or monitor certain health conditions. Here are some examples: This stool specimen collection methodology was designed as a part of a randomized controlled trial in rural Kampong Thom province, Cambodia, with ethics granted from the Clinical Research Ethics Board at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada (H18-02610), and the National Ethics Committee for Health Research in Phnom Penh, Cambodia (273-NECHR). All participants provided written informed consent before participating in the study, including the collection of baseline and 12-week venous blood, neat stool, and fecal swab specimen. Full details of the original study can be found elsewhere [ 9], and the trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov ( {"type":"clinical-trial","attrs":{"text":"NCT04017598","term_id":"NCT04017598"}}NCT04017598). Between December 2019 and January 2020, women were recruited, and n = 480 non-pregnant women of reproductive age (18–45 years) were randomized to 12 weeks of daily oral iron supplementation in the form of either 60 mg ferrous sulfate ( n = 161), 18 mg ferrous bisglycinate ( n = 158), or placebo ( n = 161). Venous blood specimens and neat stool specimens were collected at baseline and after 12 weeks.

If you have done a faecal occult blood test, you should get your results in the mail about 2 weeks later. Your results will also be sent to your doctor, if you nominated them on the form you sent in with the sample. If your test is positive, make an appointment with your doctor to discuss what to do next. Johnson, A. J. et al. Daily sampling reveals personalized diet-microbiome associations in humans. Cell Host Microbe 25, 789-802.e5 (2019).It contains all the necessary supplies to perform about 100 spinal taps (lumbar punctures). That procedure needs to be handled by trained health care professional preferably in hospital settings This module is also called “meningitis kit” as it is used for the diagnosis/confirmation of meningitis during outbreaks. An abnormal result from fecal-based tests may indicate the presence of colorectal cancer or advanced adenoma, and should be followed by a diagnostic colonoscopy. If you've been diagnosed with Lynch syndrome, you'll be offered a colonoscopy every 2 years through the NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Programme. Degen, L. P. & Phillips, S. F.

The official guidance from the NHS (Great Britain) for this procedure gives the "helpful" advice of. Faecal calprotectin — this is a test of inflammation in the bowel. It may help your doctor work out if you have inflammatory bowel disease. If you do, it can also be used to monitor the level of inflammation if you have a flare-up. The newer fecal DNA testing is generally considered more sensitive than FIT due to this method being able to look for specific DNA changes found in cancerous tumors or precancerous polyps. Cells from precancerous and cancerous lesions with these mutations often shed DNA biomarkers into the stool. The microbiome is often scrutinized for small community changes in association with host-related biological factors such as diet or disease. These changes in microbial signatures are often detected in less abundant taxa, or only within particular groups of bacteria and can vary among individuals. Most bacterial ASVs with large differential abundance were found to be enriched in whole stool compared to surface aliquots, and all but one Alphaproteobacteria were classified as Clostridia. The Internal regions of stool have previously been shown to harbor significantly higher abundances of Firmicutes and Bifidobacteria spp. compared to the external surface 13. In this study, the external surface of stool was likely targeted by surface aliquot collections, rather than the internal regions of stool, and if the internal regions of stool harbor larger abundances of Firmicutes, this might explain some of the differences seen between the surface aliquots and the homogenized whole stool. On the other hand, half of all fungi with large differential abundance were found to be reduced in whole stool compared to the surface aliquots; and of these all but one Dothideomycetes were classified as Saccharomycetes, indicating Saccharomycetes may be a mucosal associated fungus in the gut.
