VHC Vitamin D Test Kit

VHC Reader (Vitamin-D Test)

The VHC Reader currently allows a practitioner and client to see 25-OH Vitamin D results within 15 minutes, anywhere and at any time, providing  a better consultation and a better outcome for the client. 

The VHC Quantitative Vitamin-D Test is an immunochromatography-based one step in vitro test. It is designed for the quantitative determination of total 25-hydroxy Vitamin D in a human finger-prick blood. This assay provides a preliminary diagnostic test result and can be used for screening of Vitamin D deficiency.

The Vitality Health Check Reader (VHC-Reader) is a innovative professional health monitoring device. It allows a practitioner to generate reliable test results within clinical settings.

How to run a Vitamin D test in 4 easy steps:

Step 1.  Take a finger prick sample and fill the capillary tube to the top with the blood from the finger pad.  Add 5 drops of buffer solution to the UniSampler (a special sample collection and mixing device, with an integrated high precision capillary for accurate sampling)

Step 2.  Replace the capillary into the UniSampler mixer. To empty the blood sample into the buffer solution mix it well using energetic semicircle movements until the mixture in the capillary is distinctly lighter in colour than the bottom of the sample mixer

Step 3.  Add 3 drops of the sample mix to the inlet of the VHC Vitamin-D test cassette, place the adapter over the test cassette and the VHC reader onto the adapter and turn on

Step 4.  Place the RFID card onto the meter to complete data transfer. Once the test is set the integrated timer ensures that the results for an individual test are read automatically after 15 minutes.  Your client's Vitamin D results are displayed as ng/ml and nmol/l  

You may then check the results against a professional evaluation table, developed and recommended by leading vitamin D experts for interpretation:
