Immunochromatographic point-of-care test for the determination of Procalcitonin (PCT) in serum and plasma
Assay characteristics
Reliability and reproducibility
Thermo Scientific™ B·R·A·H·M·S PCT™-Q shows a high degree of reliability and reproducibility in the determination of serum/ plasma PCT concentrations. Semi-quantitative concentration ranges obtained with Thermo Scientific B·R·A·H·M·S PCT-Q correlate closely with the quantitative results obtained with Thermo Scientific B·R·A·H·M·S PCT LIA.
Thermo Scientific B·R·A·H·M·S PCT-Q achieves 90-92% of diagnostic sensitivity and 92-98% of diagnostic specificity when compared with the clinical use of Thermo Scientific B·R·A·H·M·S PCT LIA.
For quantitative determination of PCT concentrations, e.g. for monitoring purposes, other (quantitative) assays like Thermo Scientific B·R·A·H·M·S PCT LIA are available. (Please contact Thermo Fisher Scientific (B·R·A·H·M·S GmbH) for information regarding assay availability in your country.)
