Generally
QuikRead go easy CRP for results you can trust
Accurate C-reactive protein (CRP) measurement is essential in managing patients with infection symptoms. Measuring CRP increases diagnostic certainty of physicians, guides appropriate antibiotic prescribing and aids in ruling out severe bacterial infections1-2.
CRP point of care testing before antibiotic prescribing supports evidence-based treatment decisions for bacterial infections. Antibiotics are ineffective against viruses, and therefore bacterial infections should be confirmed to avoid unnecessary use of antibiotics.
Fast and flexible CRP testing with QuikRead go easy CRP enables enhanced decision-making and efficient patient management.

Frequently asked questions
I would like to start using the QuikRead go easy CRP test. Which instrument software version I need on my QuikRead go instrument?
You should have the version 7.6.2. or newer. This software is suitable also for all of the other test kits that we provide.
Can I store QuikRead go easy CRP kits at room temperature?
Yes, the unopened kits can be stored at cool or room temperature (2…25 ºC) until the expiry date marked on the kit label. After the first opening of the kit components, the cuvettes can be kept at room temperature (18…25 ºC) for 3 months. The reagent caps for 6 months. The sample collectors can be stored at 2…25 ºC until the expiry date of the kit. See more information in the package insert.
Why does the sample collector not disturb the measurement?
The sample collector stays in the cuvette during the whole measurement. The accuracy of the measurement is not affected because the sample collector does not hit the light path of the instrument.
Which sampling device is suitable for the QuikRead go easy CRP test?
QuikRead go Sample Collectors 10µl, which are included in the QuikRead go easy CRP test kit, must be used for sampling and adding the sample or control into the QuikRead go easy CRP cuvettes. Other sampling devices or capillaries are not suitable for this test.
