Modern Thermoelectrics Designed for Point of Care Testing (POCT)

Introduction

Point of care testing (POCT) aims to bring medical care conveniently and immediately to the patient. The sophistication of medical and laboratory testing devices now enables accurate, real-time diagnostic test results within an hour, rather than days. POCT is addressing the importance for doctors and patients to rapidly receive test results to not only improve patient care, but also improve public health. The recent global COVID-19 pandemic has shown that rapid testing is vital to effectively manage the spread of a virus.

Point of care testing enables medical staff to deliver real-time test results within an hour. To ensure accuracy and long operational life of test devices, thermoelectric coolers are used to provide precise temperature control. Point-of-care PCR testing devices must handle hundreds of thousands of thermal cycles throughout its life with minimal degradation to the thermoelectric cooler. Our PowerCycling PCX Series thermoelectric cooler features a unique construction that is tested to survive in long term thermal cycling applications. 


Online Thermoelectric Modelling Tool for PCR Design Engineers


Laird Thermal Systems has launched an online simulation tool for PCR thermal cycling applications. Thermoelectric coolers produced for thermal cycling, such as the PowerCycling PCX Series, are utilised for Real-Time PCR to precisely temperature control DNA amplification to three temperature set points. Constructed with next-generation thermoelectric material, the series offers faster ramp rates and higher reliability than conventional thermoelectric coolers to notably extend field use of molecular diagnostic devices.
