Quantitative Ferritin Test

Quantitative Ferritin Test

Test4Fe is a rapid, quantitative test for detecting ferritin levels in the blood. The test is easy to use and only requires one drop of blood for results.
Test4Fe uses NanoSpeed’s cube reader technology to display the exact level of ferritin within minutes, eliminating the wait time from conventional lab testing.

Product Features:

  • Quantitative Ferritin test
  • Quantitative readout using a calibrated cube reader
  • Results in 10 minutes from a drop of blood
  • The sensitivity of Test4Fe is found to be 98.8%
  • Detection range: 20 – 650 ng/mL

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the Quantitative Vitamin A Test (Test4A)?

Test4A is a rapid, point-of-care test that provides a quantitative measure of Vitamin A (retinol) levels in blood, using NanoSpeed’s “cube reader” technology

Why test Vitamin A levels?

Vitamin A is essential for vision, immune function, skin health, and cellular growth. Deficiency can cause symptoms like night blindness, dry skin, poor wound healing, or increased susceptibility to infections. The test helps assess vitamin A nutritional status.

Who should use this test?

It is intended for adults who show symptoms or have risk factors for vitamin A deficiency (e.g. night blindness, skin issues, malabsorption disorders, restrictive diets, liver disease).

How is the test performed?

Collect a small drop of blood (finger-prick) using the lancet. Transfer the blood onto the test cassette using the pipette. Add the buffer as instructed. Insert the cassette into the cube reader. The device displays the vitamin A concentration (in µmol/L) within about 10 minutes.

What is the detection range of the test?

The test can quantitatively measure Vitamin A in the range 0.25 to 4.0 µmol/L.

How long does it take to get results?

You get the result in approximately 10 minutes from applying the blood sample.

How accurate or reliable is the test?

While NanoSpeed doesn’t explicitly list sensitivity or specificity on the page, the quantitative format, calibrated reader, and narrow detection range aim for precise results. However, like any diagnostic test, accuracy can depend on sample handling, timing, user error, and biological variation.

What are the limitations or cautions?
Values below or above the detection range (0.25–4.0 µmol/L) may not be reliably quantified. Vitamin A levels can fluctuate with recent diet, fat absorption, liver function, or infection. As a rapid POC (point-of-care) test, it may not substitute fully for lab assays in complex medical cases.Improper sampling (insufficient or excessive blood volume, incorrect buffer mixing, timing errors) may lead to inaccurate results.
What does a “normal” vitamin A level look like?

“Normal” retinol levels depend on population, age, sex, and local lab standards, but often lie within the detection range. Values below ~0.7 µmol/L are associated with deficiency in many settings. (You should compare with reference ranges used by clinical labs or public health guidelines.)

What does a low result indicate?

Low vitamin A suggests deficiency, which may stem from poor dietary intake, malabsorption (e.g. intestinal disorders), fat digestion issues, liver disease, or increased demand (e.g. in illness). Clinical evaluation and broader nutritional assessment will be needed.

What does a high result indicate?

Excessively high vitamin A levels may indicate over-supplementation, hypervitaminosis A, or disturbances in metabolism or liver storage. High levels might be harmful, so clinical correlation is essential.
