High Sensitivity Chemiluminescent Point of Care Tests for Cardiac Troponin

护理点检测（POC）是一种快速医学诊断检测，设计在患者身边进行。POC设备产生结果的速度比实验室测试快得多，这使医生和护士能够更快地采取行动，从而挽救生命，改善患者的治疗效果并降低医疗保健系统的总体成本。然而，POC测试的更广泛使用目前受到现有设备灵敏度的限制。Invitron正在开发一种使用高灵敏度化学发光化合物的POC测试系统，该系统将使低成本便携式POC设备达到实验室分析仪的分析灵敏度。

Point of care (POC) tests are rapid medical diagnostic tests designed to be carried out next to the patient. POC 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 POC testing is currently limited by the sensitivity of current devices. Invitron is developing a POC test system using high sensitivity chemiluminescent compounds that will enable low cost, portable POC devices to achieve the analytical sensitivity of laboratory analysers.
