Quantitative
PSA at the Point-of-Care |
|
|
|
|
Urologists,
primary care physicians
and nurses rely on
accurate measurement
of PSA for the management
of new or recurrent
prostate disease.
|
|
The
PSAwatch system measures
PSA to one decimal
place, in the clinically
significant range (0.5
- 25µg/l) [1]. |

Rapid Point-of-Care PSA

PSAwatch™ with
the Bioscan™ reader
system is easy to use.
No special training
is required and the
system is small enough
to be used in any location.
Place the PSAwatch™ cassette
into the Bioscan™ reader,
put the sample into
the “test well” and
wait 10 minutes for
the PSA result.
|
|
The
test is clinically
equimolar with NIBSC
and European standards
and correlates well
with a standard laboratory
assay (R2=0.88) [1].
The test works with
whole blood from a
venous puncture or
finger-prick, and plasma
[2]. |
