AFINION™ CRP
MAKE EVERY MINUTE COUNT
Afinion™ CRP is a rapid in vitro diagnostic test for quantitative determination of C-reactive protein (CRP) in human blood; helping reduce diagnostic uncertainty and guiding antibiotic decision making during your patient’s visit.1-3
Benefits
Why measure C-reactive protein?
A significantly increased CRP result may indicate the need for immediate antibiotic treatment. The CRP level decreases rapidly in response to effective therapy. A normal or moderately increased CRP may support a diagnosis of viral or self-limiting infection, which provides valuable information to prevent unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions.
Long shelf life of reagents
Patient consultations can be carried out with confidence. The CRP Test Cartridge contains all reagents necessary for the measurement of C-reactive protein with 4 weeks room temperature storage (15-25°C).
Short assay time in 3 to 4 minutes
The Afinion™ CRP test gives you reliable, highly-accurate results conveniently available when and where you need them.
