  • Timely & Precise PCT Diagnostics for Labs, Hospitals and Point-of-Care

    1.  Why PCT Testing Matters in Clinical Practice

     

    Procalcitonin (PCT) is a peptide precursor of calcitonin.

    In healthy individuals, PCT circulates at very low levels. While during bacterial infections and systemic inflammation, PCT levels rise rapidly, making it a sensitive biomarker for sepsis and severe infections. 

     

    Clinical Significance of PCT

     

    ● Correlates with infection severity, and provides guidance in sepsis and septic shock, respiratory infections, acute pancreatitis, and other severe bacterial infections

    ● Monitors disease progression and treatment response

    ● Guiding antibiotic therapy and stewardship

    ● Not a standalone tool – most effective when combined with other screening tools, such as qSOFA scoring and hs-CRP. Best interpreted in conjunction with input from clinicians, pharmacists, and laboratory specialists.

     

    2.  Results Interpretation - Assessing Sepsis Risk with PCT Levels

    PCT_risk_heatmap

    PCT (ng/mL)

    Risk Category

    Interpretation

    < 0.05

    Normal

    Normal; low likelihood of bacterial sepsis; suggests viral or non-infectious cause.

    0.05 - 0.5

    Low

    Early bacterial infection or inflammation possible; monitor and retest as needed.

    0.5 - 2

    Intermediate

    Significant bacterial infection or systemic inflammation; consider patient history; retest in 6–24 hours.

    2 -10

    High

    Severe bacterial infection; high risk of sepsis or septic shock; immediate clinical attention required.

    > 10

    Very High

    Strongly indicates severe sepsis or septic shock with risk of organ failure; urgent intervention needed.

    Important Considerations: PCT results must be evaluated alongside the patient's clinical presentation, symptoms, and other laboratory tests.

  • why our poct-crp analyzer is the smartest investment for your lab?

    As the demand for rapid, accurate, and cost-effective diagnostics grows, healthcare providers are increasingly turning to point-of-care testing (POCT) solutions. One essential test that stands out is C-reactive protein (CRP), a crucial biomarker for monitoring inflammation and infection. If your institution is evaluating POCT-CRP analyzers, this guide outlines how Poclight's innovative solution meets and exceeds clinical and operational expectations.

    Seamless Integration and High Throughput

    Poclight's POCT-CRP analyzer features seamless integration with laboratory information systems (LIS), using standard interfaces like HL7. This ensures automatic result delivery, eliminating manual entry. It supports high-volume and decentralized testing environments, making it ideal for busy laboratories.

    Flexible Sample Compatibility and Minimal Volume Requirement

    Flexibility is key in modern diagnostics. Poclight's analyzer accepts C-reactive protein (CRP) blood tests from various sample types: capillary blood (fingerstick), venous blood in EDTA or lithium heparin tubes, and plasma from both venous and capillary sources. Importantly, it requires only 5 µL of S/P/W blood per test, making it suitable for pediatric, elderly, or chronically ill patients who need preserved blood volume.

    Reliable Results and Built-in Features

    The analyzer delivers precise CRP results within a range of 0.5–320 mg/L, ensuring accurate assessments across diverse clinical conditions.

    Long-Term Value and Extra Benefits

    Investing in our POCT-CRP analyzer is a long-term decision. Poclight's kits come as single-use lyophilized reagents, no need cold chain. They can be kept at room temperature and have a shelf life of up to 18 months. This convenience not only simplifies logistics but also ensures that healthcare facilities, especially in remote areas, have easy access to essential testing solutions without the worry of refrigeration, and a dedicated support team for training and post-sale service.
