title: Coloscreen VPI test kit evaluated for detection of fecal occult blood.
abstract: The usefulness of the Coloscreen VPI test kit in occult blood detection has been examined and compared with our current method. The results show the Coloscreen procedure to be a simple, sensitive method that is much less subject to vegetable peroxidase interference than are other available screening procedures.
