Product catalog summary
Overview: The BinaxNOW® G6PD test is a rapid, qualitative diagnostic tool designed to differentiate between normal and deficient G6PD activity levels in whole blood. It aids in identifying individuals with G6PD deficiency, which can influence lifestyle and drug therapy choices.
Key Features:
  • Rapid Results: Provides results in less than 10 minutes, with heparin-treated samples ready in 5 minutes and EDTA-treated samples in 7 minutes.
  • Ease of Use: Involves a simple 3-step procedure using a single, ready-to-use reagent. Requires only 10μL of whole blood and no special equipment.
  • Interpretation: Results are indicated by a visual color change, providing a qualitative outcome.
  • Accuracy and Reliability: Quickly identifies G6PD deficiency to assist with drug therapy decisions.
Clinical Relevance:
  • G6PD deficiency is the most widespread enzymopathy globally, affecting approximately 400 million people, predominantly males.
  • Particularly significant for individuals with malaria or HIV, as certain drugs can cause severe hemolysis in those with the deficiency.
  • Screening is recommended for malaria-positive and HIV-positive patients before starting drug therapy.
Clinical Study: A study comparing the BinaxNOW® test to a quantitative G6PD test showed high agreement rates:
  • Deficient result agreement: 98.0% for both heparin and EDTA samples.
  • Normal result agreement: 97.9% for heparin samples and 97.4% for EDTA samples.
  • Overall agreement: 97.9% for heparin samples and 97.6% for EDTA samples.
Demographics: The deficiency is most prevalent among Kurdish Jewish males (60-70%), Sardinian males (30%), and Saudi males (13%).
Ordering Information: The BinaxNOW® G6PD test kit (Order No. 780-000) is distributed by Alere International Limited, Ireland.
