The test is conducted with the patient swallowing a urea capsule. If gastric urease from H.pylori is present, the urea is split to form Carbon Dioxide and Ammonia. Ten minutes after the capsule is ingested by the patient, a breath sample is collected in a balloon. The breath sample is transferred into collection fluid to trap the labeled Carbon Dioxide. This liquid is later analyzed in a Liquid Scintillation Counter to determine the level of infection.
