Labmaster LUCIA -CRP Kit for Point-of-Care Inflammatory Assessment
The Labmaster LUCIA™ CRP Kit is a diagnostic tool designed for near-patient testing to quantitatively assess C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in whole blood, offering insights into the body's inflammatory status. This kit is intended for use with the Labmaster LUCIA™ Analyzer, providing healthcare professionals a quick, efficient point-of-care testing solution. Results are obtained in 11 minutes using fingertip blood samples, enhancing ease of handling with a simple testing protocol. The kit includes all necessary reagents and washing buffers, except for the LUCIA™ Analyzer, lancets, and additional components. It supports differentiation between viral and bacterial infections, aiding in appropriate antibiotic use and addressing resistance concerns. CRP serves as an acute phase protein indicator, increasing in response to infection or tissue damage, with changes detectable within 6-12 hours, playing a crucial role in evaluating the efficacy of antibiotic treatments.
- Point-of-care test based on fingertip blood sample
- uick result in only 11 minutes
- Easy handling, only a few steps needed
- All-in-one test kit, reagents and washing buffer included
- Applied together, the Labmaster LUCIA™ CRP and MxA tests provide an efficient method for differentiation of viral and bacterial acute respiratory tract infections. This helps to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use and antibiotic resistance.
The Labmaster LUCIA™ CRP test is an in vitro near-patient diagnostic test used for the quantitative determination of C-reactive protein (CRP) from whole blood to assess the inflammatory status of the body. The CRP Kit is to be used with the semi-automated Labmaster LUCIA™ Analyzer by healthcare professionals.
