Helicobacter pylori Test Kit ZHPT-A10 is designed to be used with Helicobacter pylori Detector ZHP-A10. The gas collection bags have a 100 mL capacity each. The test procedure begins by capturing baseline exhalation before taking the C13 urea pill on an empty stomach. The second bag is used for capturing the exhaled gas after 20 to 30 minutes of taking the pill. Our test kit measures the Degree of Biologic Oxidation (DOB), enabling detection of Helicobacter pylori infection.

Our Helicobacter pylori Test Kit, used for detecting Helicobacter pylori infection, is applied in clinical settings with the C13 Helicobacter pylori Detector ZHP-A10 to measure the Degree of Biologic Oxidation (DOB).
Frequently Asked Question
The test is designed to detect the presence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a bacterium that can infect the stomach lining and is linked to gastritis, ulcers, and potentially gastric cancer. This breath test offers a non-invasive, accurate way to identify active infections.
Before the ¹³C urea pill is taken, the patient is asked to exhale into a baseline collection bag. This sample represents the patient's natural background level of ¹³CO₂ in the breath. It is essential for comparison to the post-dose sample in order to accurately measure any increase in ¹³CO₂ due to H. pylori activity.
DOB stands for Delta Over Baseline, a key measurement used to determine the test result. It quantifies the difference in ¹³CO₂ concentration between the baseline and the post-dose breath samples. A higher DOB value indicates more ¹³CO₂ was produced after taking the urea pill, which is a strong indicator of H. pylori infection. The specific DOB threshold for a positive result may vary by test system but is typically around 4‰ or higher.
Compared to blood, stool, or endoscopic tests, the ¹³C Urea Breath Test offers multiple advantages: Non-invasive and comfortable No radiation exposure Rapid results Useful for both initial diagnosis and post-treatment follow-up Does not require invasive procedures like biopsy or endoscopy
The full test usually takes about 20–30 minutes, including pre- and post-dose breath collection.
People experiencing symptoms such as persistent stomach pain, bloating, nausea, acid reflux, or those with a history of ulcers may benefit from testing. It is also recommended for individuals with a family history of stomach cancer.
The accuracy depends on the type of test. Urea breath tests and stool antigen tests have high accuracy rates (above 90%), while blood tests may show past infections rather than current ones.
No, most H. pylori tests are non-invasive or minimally invasive. The breath and stool tests are completely painless, while a biopsy requires a minor endoscopic procedure.
Some H. pylori tests, such as stool antigen tests and breath tests, have home test kits available. However, for the most accurate results, laboratory or clinical testing is recommended.
If your test is positive, your doctor may prescribe a combination of antibiotics and acid-reducing medications to eradicate the infection. It's essential to complete the full treatment and follow up with another test to confirm eradication.
