How does the rapid test work?
There are many tests to assess the condition of the liver, the most common being transaminal (ALT and AST) enzyme research. These enzymes are released from the liver as a result of disease or injury. The VITAMIN STATION liver function test is used to measure elevated ALT and AST levels . One drop of blood taken from the fingertip is enough for its successful use . The test consists of a plastic cassette containing a card with two separate zones for the detection of transaminases (red if positive) and a control area (blue). In case of a positive test, visit your general practitioner and consult the next procedure exclusively with him.

Use
1. Place the contents of the kit on a clean, dry, level surface (such as a table). Wash your hands thoroughly. Use soap and warm water. Dry your hands with a clean towel.
2. Prepare the test and pipette. Remove them from the protective bag (tear off at the notch) and place them at your fingertips (you will need them later). Discard the small desiccant bag.
3. Prepare a lancet. Hold it gently without pressing the activation button. Turn the lancet cap a quarter turn until you feel it separate from the lancet. Then continue turning (2-3
turns). Do not pull, just turn, and discard the cap after removal.
4. Clean the tip of the middle finger or ring finger with an alcohol swab. Massage the finger with light pressure for 10-15 seconds towards its end to allow the blood to circulate.
5. Press the lancet firmly against the side of the cleaned fingertip and press the activation button.
6. The tip automatically slides back into the device.
7. Support the formation of a drop of blood by massaging the fingertip.
8. Place the plastic pipette on the blood sample without squeezing the end of the pipette. The sample is aspirated into the pipette due to the capillarity up to the comma marked on the pipette. If the blood does not reach the comma, massage the
abdomen of the finger again to obtain the required amount of blood. Try to avoid air bubbles.
9. Apply the sample by squeezing the pipette tip into the cassette test window.
