The Biotime AFP Rapid Quantitative Test is designed for the rapid and precise measurement of Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels in serum or plasma samples. AFP is a glycoprotein produced primarily by the fetal liver and yolk sac tissues, with levels that normally decline rapidly after birth.

In adults, elevated AFP levels can indicate the presence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), germ cell tumors, or metastatic liver disease, making this test an essential tool in oncology diagnostics. Additionally, AFP testing is widely used in prenatal screening to detect fetal developmental abnormalities, including neural tube defects and chromosomal disorders.

This rapid test provides accurate quantitative results in 10 minutes, enabling clinicians to make timely and informed diagnostic and treatment decisions.
