Kit is “hema-screen”  from immunostics.inc which is indeed guiac based

I have one I could show you mine if you have not yet been invited. (too young ?)

If you look in  page 51-52 there are some useful recommendations.

See also Ruth M Ayling review article : Ann Clin Biochem 2012; 49: 44–54. DOI: 10.1258/acb.2011.011150

I collected some paperwork in relation to earlier postings on mailbase which may be of interest, of which I hope the authors will not mind circulation.

Isn’t the programme you’re part of using guaiac?  The pics on the website would seem to suggest so.

Some of us have actually participated more than once!

And Steve Halloran sends you a nice, personalised message, saying (hopefully) something to the effect of :-

“Your test shows no indication of cancer – however this does not mean that you do not have cancer or that you will not get cancer”

Comforting, isn’t it?

Michael
