Getein PCT/CRP Fast Test Kit is used to identify systemic or local infection, bacterial infection or virus infection, determine the severity of infection and instruct clinical use of antibiotics.
Intended Use
The PCT/CRP Fast Test Kit (Immunofluorescence Assay) is intended for in vitro quantitative determination of Procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in serum, plasma, or whole blood. The combination of CRP and PCT provides more accurate information to determine the degree of infection and inflammation. It helps to identify systemic or local infections, bacterial or viral infections, determine the severity of infection, and guide the clinical use of antibiotics. Therefore, the combination of PCT and CRP offers a wider range of applications, more convenience, and more accurate diagnosis.
About PCT/CRP
Compared to CRP, PCT rises within 3-6 hours after infection stimulation. Additionally, CRP can increase in both viral and bacterial diseases, while PCT only rises in bacterial infections. Thus, PCT is a diagnostic marker with fast, strong, and specific characteristics. The combination of CRP and PCT allows for a more accurate determination of infection and inflammation severity.
