CRP measurements with easy CRP and automated haematocrit value correction.
Straightforward viral infections usually lead to a slight increase in CRP values – or to none at all – whereas bacterial infections cause the concentration to rise significantly.
The QuikRead go easy CRP is a reliable, easy-to-use POC test that delivers a quantitative CRP result (range: 1-200 mg/L) within two minutes. The simple, convenient handling of the unique one-step sample collector makes the process even more efficient: the sample collector capillary is open at both ends, causing it to fill very quickly.
The instrument comes with broad, automatic haematocrit value correction of 15 – 75%.
This can prevent false CRP values, especially in neonates and the elderly.
