Modern Thermoelectrics Designed for Point of Care Testing (POCT)




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.

Point of Care Testing

Point of care testing allows medical staff to perform real-time testing in the doctor’s office or at home. This contrasts with traditional medical laboratory testing that needs to be shipped out to a central testing center and take days to get results. Bringing testing and diagnosing closer to the patient is all an effort to improve healthcare. 

Temperature stability within the point of care testing device is the key to achieve reliable results. Because conductivity varies when blood temperature changes, blood sample’s temperature must be accurately controlled.
