QuikRead go CRP

Versatile point of care CRP testing with QuikRead go CRP

Accurate C-reactive protein (CRP) measurement is essential in managing patients with symptoms of infection and inflammation. A fast CRP test helps to identify patients who benefit from antibiotic treatment, and it is valuable in monitoring treatment response¹. It can also be used for evaluation and monitoring of inflammatory conditions². The easy-to-use QuikRead go CRP test can be used near the patient, providing immediate CRP results.

CRP point of care testing supports evidence-based treatment decisions for bacterial infections. Antibiotics should not be used for viral infections, and diagnostic confirmation of bacterial infections decreases unnecessary antibiotic use. QuikRead go CRP is an efficient tool for point of care settings, guiding the treatment decisions of healthcare professionals.

Is it possible to use QuikRead CRP kits for QuikRead go?

No, for QuikRead go you can only use QuikRead go CRP kits. QuikRead go requires a bar code on the cuvette, whereas QuikRead 101 uses a magnetic card.

The QuikRead go instrument gives me a result of > 200 mg/l, but I would like to get an exact CRP result. Is it possible?

When using plasma/serum samples you can dilute the sample with 0.9 % NaCl before adding it to the cuvette. The recommended dilution is 1+3. Remember to multiply the result by 4.

I accidentally left a QuikRead go CRP kit at room temperature for a weekend. Can I still use it?

Yes, you can use the kit. The kit can be stored at room temperature (18 - 25 °C) for one month. If it is used at room temperature during daily working hours (7.5 hours) and stored at 2 - 8 °C after finishing work, the kit will remain stable for 3 months.

Can I use controls other than QuikRead CRP Controls with the QuikRead go CRP kit?

Yes, you can use other commercially available controls. The acceptable control limits must be defined with the precision results gained with the QuikRead go instrument. The blanking process might not succeed if you use a control which contains artificial red blood cells because they might not haemolyse normally.

Why do QuikRead go CRP kit components have different expiration dates and why does the kit have shorter shelf life than some of the components?

The kit components have different chemical properties. Therefore, the shelf lives of the components are different. The kit has it’s own expiration date which is the same as the expiration date of the first expiring component.
