Instructions Details
Vitamin B12 deficiency can contribute to fatigue, neurological symptoms, anemia, and cognitive concerns. Delayed diagnosis may affect patient outcomes and treatment planning. Test4B12 provides a faster testing option that helps healthcare professionals identify potential deficiency during patient visits.
Test4B12 uses NanoSpeed’s rapid diagnostic technology to provide quantitative Vitamin B12 results from a patient sample in a streamlined workflow.
NanoSpeed manufactures diagnostic products under internationally recognized quality standards, including ISO 13485 and MDSAP certification. Test4B12 is designed to support healthcare providers seeking reliable point-of-care diagnostic solutions.
The test is designed for rapid point-of-care use, providing results much faster than traditional laboratory workflows.
Test4B12 is intended for professional use in clinics, laboratories, pharmacies, and wellness centers.
The workflow is designed to be simple and efficient, with minimal training required for healthcare professionals.
In Canada, you can get tested at clinics, labs, or by using a home test kit like NanoSpeed’s Test4B12. It’s fast, requires just one drop of blood, and gives results in about 10 minutes.
No special preparation is usually needed. However, inform your doctor about any supplements or medications, as they may affect your results. For home tests, follow the included instructions carefully.
This is a laboratory‑style quantitative test with a detection range of 125 to 950 pg/mL. While rapid and convenient, its results should be interpreted in consultation with a healthcare professional, especially if your result is near the limits of the range.
| Inside the box you will find: |
| Test4B12 cassette |
| Buffer vial |
| Transfer pipette |
| Lancet (for obtaining the blood drop) |
| Instruction pamphlet / user manual |
| Clean your finger (or other approved site) with an alcohol swab. |
| Use the lancet to draw a drop of blood. |
| Use the pipette to transfer the blood to the test cassette. |
| Add the buffer as described in the instructions. |
| Insert or place the cassette into the cube reader. |
| Wait ~10 minutes for the quantitative result display. |
| Make sure to follow the step‑by‑step instructions included in the kit for best accuracy. |
No prescription is required to use the kit. However, because the results can have medically relevant implications, it is strongly recommended that you share your results with your physician or qualified healthcare provider for proper interpretation and advice.
| The result is given in pg/mL (picograms per millilitre). |
| A “normal” range varies somewhat by laboratory, but in general values between ~200–900 pg/mL are often considered within normal limits (consult guidelines and your health provider). |
| If your reading is below 125 pg/mL, it indicates low B12 (deficiency). If above 950 pg/mL, it’s above the measurable range of the test. |
| Always compare your result with reference ranges provided by your physician or local Canadian lab. |
