ichroma CRP – C-Reactive Protein

Key Features

• Quantitative CRP measurement: Provides precise detection of C-Reactive Protein, an acute-phase inflammatory marker.

• Rapid results: Produces clinically useful results within minutes on ichroma analyzers.

• User-friendly design: Single-use cartridges ensure easy operation and minimal preparation.

• Flexible sample types: Supports whole blood (capillary/venous), serum, or plasma.

• High analytical performance: Uses fluorescent antibody labeling for accurate, reproducible measurements.

Clinical Applications

• Diagnosis and monitoring of bacterial infections

• Differentiating bacterial vs. viral causes of illness

• Assessing systemic inflammation

• Monitoring treatment response in infectious or inflammatory conditions

• Supporting decisions in antibiotic therapy

Principle of the Test

The assay uses a fluorescence immunoassay method:

1. The sample is applied to the cartridge.

2. CRP in the sample binds to fluorescently tagged anti-CRP antibodies.

3. The ichroma analyzer measures fluorescence intensity, which corresponds to CRP concentration.
