Unlocking the Potential of Microfluidic Point-of-Care IVD Cartridges With Lyophilized Beads
In the realm of diagnostic technologies, the shift towards microfluidic point-of-care (POC) cartridges has revolutionized healthcare by helping to enable rapid and convenient diagnostic solutions. Complex tests that once could only be executed in laboratories and took days or weeks to complete can now be performed on-site or at home in a matter of hours or, in some cases, minutes. An important component of most microfluidic POC devices is reagent-loaded cartridges, which contain the necessary elements for performing these tests outside traditional laboratory settings.
One key advancement supporting the efficacy and accessibility of these cartridges is the adoption of lyophilized reagent beads in place of, or to complement conventional liquid blisters.
