Breath Test to diagnose lactose intolerance.

Lacto-kit is a non-invasive breath test that can diagnose lactose intolerance.

The basis for this test is based on measuring the production of H₂ and CH₄ in the breath after ingestion of lactose. CH₄ measurement is performed because approximately 30-40% of the population is not producing H₂ (H₂ in CH₄ transform through methanogenic bacteria), therefore a reduction of 30-40% false negative rate is achieved

CO₂ is also measured in the sample; this value is compared with the correct value of alveolar CO₂, taking as reference value to know that the analysis carried out is correct

Substrate: LACTOSE

Each Lacto-Kit contains:

• 8 breath sample-taking tubes
• 2 flexible tubes.
• 1 instructions booklet.
