The C. DIFF QUIK CHEK COMPLETE® test is the only rapid cassette assay that simultaneously detects both glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) antigen and toxins A & B of C. difficile in fecal specimens. The test detects C. difficile antigen, GDH, as a screen for the presence of C. difficile and confirms the presence of toxigenic C. difficile by detecting toxins A and B in fecal specimens from persons suspected of having C. difficile disease. This test is to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of C. difficile disease.
