Description
PCT Fast Test Kit (Immunofluorescence Assay)
The PCT Fast Test Kit is a quantitative immunofluorescence assay designed to measure Procalcitonin (PCT) levels in serum, plasma, or whole blood. It assists clinicians in evaluating bacterial infections, trauma, and sepsis, providing critical insights for early intervention and treatment decisions.
Key Advantages
- Accurate Sepsis Indicator: High specificity and sensitivity for differentiating bacterial infections and sepsis
- Rapid Results: Provides quantitative results in just 15 minutes
- Multiple Sample Compatibility: Suitable for serum, plasma, and whole blood samples
- Antibiotic Guidance: Supports clinical decision-making in antibiotic therapy
- Stable Storage: 4–30°C with 24-month shelf life
About Procalcitonin (PCT)
Procalcitonin (PCT) is a peptide precursor of calcitonin, composed of 116 amino acids and produced by the thyroid and neuroendocrine cells. It is a key biomarker for detecting systemic bacterial infections and assessing the severity of sepsis. Elevated PCT levels correlate with bacterial infections rather than viral, making it valuable for distinguishing between infection types and managing antibiotic usage.
