Procalcitonin Assay Kit （PCT）
For the quantitative in vitro determination of Procalcitonin in serum and plasma.
PCT is a parameter to diagnose and monitor inflammatory diseases of bacterial infections. Determination of PCT can indicate the following Information: ① As a parameter to diagnose acute bacterial & non-bacterial infections and inflammation. ② Monitor the patients who are at high risk of infection period (such as after surgical postoperative and immunosuppression period after organ transplantation, multiple trauma) and intensive care patients, to detect bacterial infection or to detect septic complications. ③ Evaluate the clinical course and prognosis of severe inflammatory disease
Procalcitonin is reacted with latex particles coated with anti-PCT antibody, generate agglutination reaction, then detect the absorbance at a wavelength of 600nm, with the magnitude change being related to the quantity of PCT in the sample.
