A Better Approach to Point-of-Care Diagnostics
Diagnostic assays are essential to confirm clinical findings. However, they may be time-consuming and
necessitate well-equipped laboratories and trained personnel. Point-of-care (POC) assay technologies
have emerged to address these challenges, however singleplex POC assays only detect infection by a single pathogen. Therefore a symptomatic patient may obtain a negative test result.
Multiplex POC assays enable testing of multiple different pathogens simultaneously, and are useful in more challenging environments such as remote settings, at home, in an ambulance, or when trained personnel are unavailable.
