The Benefits and Drawbacks of Home Test Kits

The home testing boom began in the 1970s with pregnancy tests. Now there are quick and simple tests for ovulation

too. You can also monitor your blood pressure as well as test for HIV

colon cancer

hepatitis C

deteriorating vision

and urinary tract infections. Some Test Products provide results right away

while others are sample collection devices that need to be mailed to a laboratory for processing.

The Attraction of Home Testing

Consumers like home testing because it is convenient. A simple quick test at home avoids a trip to the doctor's office

which can take a large chunk of time. Home testing is also anonymous. You may get fast results

or have to set up a private personal identification number (PIN). Either way

the results are for you alone.

Critics say some kits promote undue fear and are a waste of time and money because they are unreliable or give false results if not done correctly. However

the increasing desire of consumers to detect potential health problems early is making the home testing trend more desirable.

If you are looking into home testing

here is some information about what tests are available and how they work.

Hepatitis C

A home Test Kit is available to test for the hepatitis C virus. The over-the-counter blood collection kit tests for antibodies to the virus. With this home collection kit

you can collect a blood sample and mail it to a lab for testing. Results take about a week. Each test comes with a PIN

a lancet

sample card

and a prepaid envelope to mail the sample to the lab. You must first register your kit by calling the toll-free number and entering the kit's PIN

providing anonymous and confidential testing. Counselors are available 24 hours a day to talk with you before and after using the kit. Studies done by Home Access Health Corporation (the distributor) show that test results with the kit are similar to the results for blood drawn by a healthcare professional.

A Vacuumm Blood Collection Tube is a sterile glass or plastic test tube with a colored rubber stopper creating a vacuum seal inside of the tube

facilitating the drawing of a predetermined volume of liquid. Tubes are available with a safety-engineered stopper

with a variety of labeling options and draw volumes.

Vacutainer tubes may contain additional substances that preserve blood for processing in a medical laboratory. Using the wrong tube may make the blood sample unusable for the intended purpose. These additives are typically thin film coatings applied using an ultrasonic nozzle.

The additives may include anticoagulants (EDTA

sodium citrate

heparin) or a gel with density between those of blood cells and blood plasma. Additionally

some tubes contain additives that preserve certain components of or substances within the blood

such as glucose. When a tube is centrifuged

the materials within are separated by density

with the blood cells sinking to the bottom and the plasma or serum accumulating at the top. Tubes containing gel can be easily handled and transported after centrifugation without the blood cells and serum mixing.

The UQ-developed process uses copies of fragments from the viral genetic material to assemble the functional viral genome in a Virus Sampling Tube.

The team hopes that this should allow scientists to rapidly generate virus variants and assess their potential to evade antiviral treatments and vaccine-induced immunity.

QIMR Berghofer helped to evaluate infection and disease caused by the ‘test tube’-made virus in pre-clinical models to ensure the technology was able to generate authentic viruses.

Professor Andreas Suhrbier from QIMR Berghofer said the research was essential

as viruses were changing all the time.

“We can now monitor changes in viruses like SARS-CoV-2 and can see which variants may not respond to certain vaccines and anti-viral treatments.

“We can also investigate whether potential variants are more or less virulent in mice

and find out which drugs and vaccines will be effective.

“It’s great to finally have this vital tool and start tackling these challenging questions.”

Bottle feeding is an alternative to breastfeeding. Many news moms who are unable to breastfeed or want to feed formula milk along with breastfeeding

choose to bottle-feed their babies. Some moms even feed breast milk through Milk Bottle. If you’re a new mom

considering bottle feeding your little one

we suggest that you first read the advantages and disadvantages of bottle-feeding a baby and make an informed decision.

One of the benefits of bottle feeding is that either parent can feed the baby. Feeding is an important bonding moment; breastfeeding doesn’t give the daddy an opportunity to bond with the baby. Bottle feeding allows the siblings

father and other family members to spend some time with the newborn baby. Some moms are not comfortable with breastfeeding their babies in public. If you don’t want to expose your breasts or go to a private area for breastfeeding

bottle feeding is the way to go!
