Sepsis and AMR Diagnosis: A Critical Need for Point-of-Care Solutions
Sepsis and AMR Diagnosis: A Critical Need for Point-of-Care Solutions
Sepsis remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, responsible for over 11 million fatalities annually. In India, late diagnosis significantly exacerbates the mortality rate, with more than 5.5 million deaths linked to sepsis each year. Sepsis, which often results from infections, can escalate quickly, leading to organ failure, septic shock, and death if not diagnosed and treated promptly.
A major obstacle in sepsis management is the slow turnaround time of traditional diagnostic methods, such as blood cultures, which can take days to weeks. This delay often results in the overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics, a major contributor to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Early identification of the pathogen and its resistance profile is critical for improving patient outcomes and mitigating the rise of resistant strains.
BioCipher Labs: Revolutionizing Sepsis Diagnosis
BioCipher Labs’ comprehensive Sepsis AMR Multiplex Assay is designed to overcome these challenges, offering:
- High Sensitivity: In line with international standards, the assay detects as few as 100 copies/reaction, enabling early and precise identification of pathogens.
- High Specificity: The assay was rigorously tested, achieving 99% specificity, ensuring no cross-reactivity and delivering accurate pathogen identification without false positives.
- Reproducibility: Proven consistent results across various time points, experimenters, and product lots, meeting international reproducibility standards for reliability.
- Rapid Turnaround Time: The assay provides results within hours, ensuring timely clinical decision-making.
BioCipher’s multiplex assay offers affordable, high-quality diagnostics at the point of care, enabling clinicians to make informed decisions, reduce AMR, and save lives.
