H. Pylori is a common bacterium that can cause stomach infections. Luxor Scientific offers numerous different ways to test for this bacterium.
This test identifies the presence of a piece of the H. Pylori virus itself, looking for an active infection.
This less invasive method of testing searches for urease activity that is associated with an H. Pylori infection.
This test searches for pieces of genetic material from the H. Pylori virus, and is able to detect past or asymptomatic infections, as opposed to only active ones.

If a patient’s body is not properly breaking down and digesting food, it can lead to high levels of fat, which can be detected by this test.
