Lateral Flow POCT Analyzer

SmartTester rapid test reader is a point-of-care instrument for in vitro diagnostic use, designed for the quick and quantitative evaluation of the related lateral flow tests.

The operator gets test result within minutes, from just a few drops of sample. A quick decision can then be made on the necessity to examine the patient any further.

Parameters

C-reactive protein (CRP) is virtually absent from the blood of healthy persons but increases dramatically in response to infection or inflammation. The measurement of CRP in the blood is valuable in detecting inflammation due to acute conditions, or in monitoring disease activity in chronic conditions.

D D-Dimer is a fibrin degradation product present in the bloodstream after a blood clot is degraded by fibrinolysis. D-Dimer levels are typically elevated in patients with acute thrombotic disease (e.g. deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism).

Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is released into the blood stream within hours following acute myocardial infarctions (AMI) or ischemic damage. Elevated levels of cTnI are detectable in blood within 4 to 6 hours after the onset of chest pain.

TSH is a hormone produced in the pituitary gland, which stimulates the production of T4 and T3 thyroid hormones that regulate many metabolic processes in the body. Precise determination of TSH concentration allows the detection of aberrations of thyroid function.
