Orion QuikRead go wrCRP now available
Abacus dx is pleased to update you on the release of the Orion wrCRP kit.
The QuikRead go wrCRP is a wide-range point-of-care CRP test, which gives reliable and quantitative test result within two minutes.
The wide range CRP test allows the extension of CRP values from conventional use to testing e.g neonatal sepsis1 as well as to predict disease severity in COPD2 and aid in cardiovascular risk assessment3.
Room temperature storage for unopened kit and small sample volume ease the everyday work of healthcare professionals.
The QuikRead go is a compact, fully-automated instrument which is used for quantitative and qualitative measurements together with QuikRead go reagent kits. The QuikRead go system consists of the instrument and ready-to-use kits and is specially designed for use in laboratories where routine CRP methods are not available, such as remote laboratories.
