An alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) blood test checks the level of AFP in a pregnant woman's blood. AFP is a substance made in the liver of a unborn baby (fetus). The amount of AFP in the blood of a pregnant woman can help see whether the baby may have such problems as spina bifida and anencephaly. An AFP test can also be done as part of a screening test to find other chromosomal problems, such as Down syndrome (trisomy 21) or Edward syndrome (trisomy 18). An AFP test can find an omphalocele, a congenital problem in which some of the baby's intestines stick out through the belly wall.
This ATFirst™ AFP Test is a rapid, direct binding test for the detection of Alpha Fetoprotein in serum. It is used as an aid in the diagnosis of primary hepatocellular carcinomas, testicular teratocarcinomas and neural tube defects. The test is based on the principle of sandwich immunoassay. Monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies are employed to identity AFP specifically. This test takes only 10-20 minutes to detected 25 ng/mL AFP in serum/plasma.
