Chemiluminescent Point of Care Tests

护理点测试(POCT)是专为在患者身边进行的快速医疗诊断测试。POCT设备产生结果的速度比实验室测试快得多，使医生和护士能够更快地采取行动，从而挽救生命，改善患者结局，并降低医疗保健系统的总体成本。然而，POCT的更广泛使用目前受到当前设备的灵敏度的限制。Invitron正在开发一种使用高灵敏度化学发光化合物的POCT技术，该技术将使低成本、便携式POCT设备实现实验室分析仪的分析灵敏度。

Point of care tests (POCT) are rapid medical diagnostic tests designed to be carried out next to the patient. POCT devices produce results much faster than laboratory tests which enable physicians and nurses to act sooner and thus save lives, improve patient outcomes and reduce overall costs to the healthcare system. However, more widespread use of POCT is currently limited by the sensitivity of current devices. Invitron is developing a POCT technology using high sensitivity chemiluminescent compounds that will enable low cost, portable POCT devices to achieve the analytical sensitivity of laboratory analysers.
