About the InSure® FIT™ Collection Kit

The InSure® FIT™ Test Kit is only available from healthcare professionals. The kit contains everything you need to collect and submit test samples for analysis.
  • It's easy and convenient to perform the InSure® screening test for colorectal cancer in the privacy of your home.
  • There are no medicinal or dietary restrictions before or during taking the test.

How it Works

InSure® is based on the detection of human hemoglobin (Hb) as an indicator of blood in the stool. The test detects the globin (protein) portion of the Hb molecule. Because globin does not survive passage through the upper gastrointestinal (g.i.) tract, any globin in the stool indicates that there is bleeding in the colon or rectum, the region where colorectal cancers originate.
