The FINDER G6PD test is intended for semi-quantitative measurement of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in venous whole blood specimens collected in lithium heparin tubes, for the identification of G6PD deficient samples. The FINDER G6PD test is intended to be used with the FINDER Instrument in point of care or clinical laboratory settings.

The FINDER G6PD test system measures G6PD quantitatively from a 50uL venous whole blood specimen. The blood specimen should be collected in lithium heparin anticoagulant. The G6PD test system is suitable for use in both a point-of-care setting and a clinical laboratory. The time to result is around 16 minutes from sample introduction. The FINDER G6PD test system consists of the FINDER G6PD Test Cartridge and the FINDER Instrument. The cartridge uses electrowetting-based digital microfluidics to integrate and automate all the sample and reagent handling steps. The instrument contains all the hardware and software required to operate the cartridge, providing electrowetting control, thermal control and detection capability, a touch-screen user interface and software necessary to perform the test and report results.

The BinaxNOW® G6PD (Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase) Test is an in vitro enzyme chromatographic test for the qualitative detection of G6PD enzyme activity in human venous whole blood, collected in heparin or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The BinaxNOW® G6PD Test is a visual screening test used for differentiating normal from deficient G6PD activity levels in whole blood and is intended to aid in the identification of people with G6PD deficiency. Samples which generate deficient results should be assayed using a quantitative G6PD test method to verify the deficiency.

The BinaxNOW® G6PD test device consists of a lateral flow test strip comprised of a white sample pad and a reaction pad, which is located at the top of the strip. The reaction pad contains the reagents necessary for the G6PD enzymatic reaction and the subsequent reduction of a nitro blue tetrazolium dye into its concomitant blue formazan product. The resulting color change on the strip indicates enough G6PD activity is present to presume the sample is not deficient. To perform the test, a whole blood sample is mixed with red blood cell (RBC) lysing reagent in a sample preparation vial and then transferred to the test device sample pad. The lysed blood sample migrates up the test strip, reconstituting reagents in the reaction pad. When the sample front (or liquid migration) covers the entire reaction pad, the device is closed. Test results are read visually. If no change in the red color of the sample front is observed at the test read time, the sample is presumed to be deficient in G6PD enzyme activity. Samples normal in G6PD activity produce a distinct color change – the red sample color changes to a brown / black color on the upper half of the reaction pad.
