Description

PCT/CRP Fast Test Kit (Immunofluorescence Assay)

The PCT/CRP Fast Test Kit is a quantitative immunofluorescence assay designed for the simultaneous detection of Procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in serum, plasma, or whole blood. This combination provides a more accurate evaluation of infection type and severity, helping clinicians differentiate between bacterial and viral infections and guide effective antibiotic therapy.

Key Advantages

• Dual Biomarker Detection: Simultaneous measurement of PCT and CRP
• Fast Results: Delivers results in just 15 minutes
• High Diagnostic Accuracy: Enhances infection differentiation and inflammation assessment
• Broad Detection Ranges: PCT: 0.1–50.0 ng/mL, CRP: 0.5–200.0 mg/L
• Flexible Sampling: Compatible with serum, plasma, and whole blood
• Stable Storage: 4–30°C with a shelf life of 24 months

About PCT/CRP

Procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are key inflammatory markers with complementary roles in infection diagnosis. PCT levels begin rising within 3–6 hours of bacterial infection onset and are highly specific to bacterial infections, whereas CRP rises in both bacterial and viral infections. Combining these markers allows clinicians to accurately assess infection severity, differentiate pathogen type, and guide antibiotic use more precisely.
