GHM PCT US Procalcitonin Test Kit (FIA) – Quantitative, 10-Minute, Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma
GHM PCT US Procalcitonin Test Kit (FIA) – Quantitative, 10-Minute, Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma
SKU: GHM PCT US
Brand: Global Healthcare Medical
Product Overview
Global Healthcare Medical GHM PCT US Procalcitonin Test Kit (FIA) is a fluorescence immunoassay (FIA) designed for the quantitative determination of Procalcitonin (PCT) in human whole blood, serum, or plasma samples. The measurement of PCT is useful as an aid in the diagnosis, management, and monitoring of bacterial infection and sepsis.
The GHM PCT US is intended for use with the FIA Analyzer (VIM01), a compact benchtop analyzer that utilizes quantitative fluorescence immunochromatography technology. The test kit delivers results in 10 minutes with a measuring range of 0.1 ~ 50 ng/mL. The analyzer features auto calibration, barcode identification, and a built-in memory capacity of 50,000 results.
Procalcitonin is a precursor of calcitonin that is normally produced in the C-cells of the thyroid gland. In healthy individuals, plasma PCT concentration is typically below 0.1 ng/mL. During systemic bacterial infection, PCT is produced in parenchymal cells throughout the body, and levels rise rapidly within 2–4 hours, peak within 8–24 hours, and remain elevated for days or weeks. By evaluating PCT concentrations, physicians can engage in risk assessment for progression to severe sepsis and septic shock.
The system is designed for professional use in clinical laboratories, hospitals, and clinics. The FIA analyzer operates with a small sample volume and provides fast, reliable results with simple operation.
This product is for in vitro diagnostic use only. For professional use only.
Key Features & Benefits
Quantitative PCT Measurement – 10-Minute Turnaround
The GHM PCT US delivers quantitative PCT results in 10 minutes, supporting efficient clinical workflows in professional laboratory settings.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Test time | 10 minutes per test |
| Measuring range | 0.1 ~ 50 ng/mL |
| Specimen types | Whole blood, serum, plasma |
| Quantitative result | Provides measurable PCT concentration values |
| Intended use | Aid in diagnosis, management, and monitoring of bacterial infection and sepsis |
| Analyzer test time | 10 ± 5 seconds for analyzer reading |
Sandwich Immunodetection Method – Fluorescence Immunoassay Principle
The GHM PCT US uses a sandwich immunodetection method. Detector antibodies in buffer bind to PCT antigens in the sample, forming antigen-antibody complexes, and migrate onto a nitrocellulose matrix to be captured by immobilized anti-PCT antibodies on the test strip. More PCT antigen in the sample forms more antigen-antibody complexes, leading to a stronger fluorescence signal that is processed by the analyzer to show PCT concentration in the sample.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Sandwich immunodetection | Reliable quantitative measurement principle |
| Fluorescence signal | Measurable concentration values |
| Test strip technology | Anti-PCT at test line; chicken IgY at control line |
