Clinical leaders explore the ripple effects of in-house PCR testing on patient care, financial health, and the workforce
21 May 2026This whitepaper explores how in‑house PCR testing can improve patient outcomes and operational efficiency in healthcare settings. Compared to antigen testing, point‑of‑care PCR provides faster and more accurate diagnoses, enabling earlier treatment and better clinical decision‑making. It also reduces repeat testing, supports antimicrobial stewardship, and helps streamline workflows.
Discover how by integrating flexible PCR platforms at the point of care, healthcare organizations can enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve both staff experience and patient satisfaction.

Point-of-CarePoint-of-Care Testing (POCT) or Near Patient Testing (NPT) products are available for urine, blood and other clinical chemistry analyses. POCT includes: blood glucose testing, blood gas and electrolytes analysis, rapid coagulation testing (PT / INR), rapid cardiac markers diagnostics, drugs of abuse screening, urine strips testing, pregnancy testing, fecal occult blood analysis, food pathogens screening, hemoglobin diagnostics, infectious disease testing and cholesterol screening.PCRMolecular DiagnosticsMolecular diagnostics use an individual’s genetic code and gene expression to diagnose and monitor diseases. The technique is used increasingly in the field of infectious diseases and oncology, as well as areas such as coagulation, HLA typing and pharmacogenomics. Molecular diagnostics plays a pivotal role in personalized medicine.Infectious DiseasesInfectious diseases are caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Effective detection, prevention, and treatment are crucial to control outbreaks and improve public health. Diagnostic tools, vaccines, and antimicrobial treatments are essential components of managing these diseases. Research into emerging pathogens and resistance patterns continues to evolve.
