iVYCHECK GIP Urine

Basis of the test

iVYCHECK GIP Urine  is an immunochromatographic test designed to detect Gluten Immunogenic Peptides (GIP) in urine samples.

To perform the test, a urine sample is mixed with a conditioning solution. Then, the detection step is based on the reaction of the GIP present in the sample with the coloured antibody conjugates present in the strip. When there is GIP in the sample due to gluten intake, a red line will appear in the test area indicating a positive result. The absence of this line indicates absence of GIP in the sample and therefore absence of gluten intake (negative result). A green line (control line) will appear if the test was successful. The absence of this line indicates absence of GIP in the sample and therefore absence of gluten intake (negative result). A green line (control line) will appear if the test is properly performed.
