The Access PCT assay is a paramagnetic, chemiluminescent immunoassay for in vitro quantitative determination of procalcitonin (PCT) levels in human serum and plasma (lithium heparin and EDTA) using the Access Immunoassay Systems. Measurement of PCT in conjunction with other laboratory findings and clinical assessments aids in the risk assessment of critically ill patients on their first day of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission for progression to severe sepsis and septic shock.
A collection of reagents and other associated materials intended to be used for the quantitative measurement of procalcitonin (PCT) in a clinical specimen, using a chemiluminescent immunoassay method.
