iPonatic – Portable Molecular Workstation

Innovations in molecular assays—especially on the point-of-care testing (POCT) front—have spread this testing from molecular diagnostics laboratories into clinical microbiology laboratories—and now into general laboratories and even clinics and exam rooms.^[1]

 

Access to sensitive and rapid infectious disease diagnostic assays is essential for accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and timely infection control, making POCT vital to reducing TAT.  With novel POCT on the horizon, future studies are warranted to determine cost savings, antimicrobial usage, TAT, patient impact, and how to best implement in non-microbiology clinical laboratories and clinics.^[2]

 

Sansure iPonatic (Portable Molecule Workstation) aims to innovate traditional diagnostic mode and assist precision diagnosis. It can provide quickly and convenient diagnosis experience for clinical emergency, health management, military safety, biological emergency and other applications.
