Valuemed have re-introduced the home psa prostate cancer screening kit.
The prostate test kit was unavailable for sale for a period of 6 months as the manufacturer and brand transfered hands. Production has now re-started of the original product test kit, supplied via the new UK distributor Pasante
The self test PSA home test screens for elevated levels of the prostate specific antigen ~ PSA in a finger prick of whole blood.
The home testing pack contains everything required to complete one home test in under 10 minutes. The home test is suitable for men wishing to screen for PSA problems, while not specific for prostate cancer, elevated levels of PSA should always be investigated to exclude this disease as the cause.
The test kit is designed as a front line screen and is not suitable to monitor existing PSA levels, it is not quantative, only showing positive for levels on 10ng/ml and above, negative below this level (it does not give the precise level of PSA in ng/ml

After a break of almost 2 years Access Diagnostic Tests UK Ltd & ValueMed again offers to EU laboratory and health care screening centres, packs of 40 professional PSA test cassettes.
CE certificated, with TUV and ISO production certification the 3 line CRT test membrane for serum and or plasma.
The Rapid Test PSA test device is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the half-quantative detection of PSA in human serum or plasma to aid the diagnosis of prostate disease.
Detects 10ng/ml Human PSA and gives results in around 10 minutes.
The lack of a reliable CE certified instant test has left screening programs with the only option of laboratory analysis for the last 18 months. It is hoped the re-introduction of a near patient rapid test will see both the cost and speed of reporting benefit end users.
