Rapid H. Pylori Breath Test - Urea Breath Test (UBT) - 2 Kits

The Urea Breath Test (UBT) uses the non-radioactive isotope carbon-13 (13C). It relies on the ability of Helicobacter pylori bacteria to produce the enzyme urease, which breaks down urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide. The concentration of carbon-13 is measured in exhaled breath before and after ingestion of a labeled urea solution; an increase indicates an active infection.
