QuikRead CRP

Measurement of CRP can be helpful in the clinical management of a patient with infection symptoms. CRP is normally present in low concentrations in the blood of healthy people. CRP concentrations are markedly increased in the event of bacterial infection, whereas viral infections normally induce only a modest elevation or no elevation at all.

QuikRead CRP is a simple test for quantitative measurement of CRP. The system - consisting of a small instrument and a ready-to-use kit - is designed for use in primary healthcare settings. When the test is performed near the patient, the result is available during patient consultation and can, therefore, guide antibiotic use.

QuikRead CRP provides you with

Reliability

• As accurate as a laboratory test
• Reproducible CRP result within 8 - 160 mg/l range

Speed

Ease of use

• The system is easy to operate, even by non-laboratory personnel
• Performed on a finger prick blood sample (alternatively serum or plasma sample)
• Built-in calibration

Test results should never be used alone, without a complete clinical evaluation.

QuikRead CRP is not registered in the USA.

The QuikRead instrument gives me a result of > 160 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+1. Remember to multiply the result by 2.

I accidentally left a QuikRead 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. When used at room temperature during daily working hours (7.5 hours) and stored at +2 - +8 °C after finishing, the kit will remain stable for 3 months.

I have used a 20 µl sample volume for plasma patient samples. Is the result I get the final result?

No, when using a 20 µl plasma volume, the result should be multiplied by 0.6. When using a 12 µl plasma or serum volume, the result can be directly read from the screen and no additional calculations are needed.
