Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) represents a transformative shift in the landscape of medical diagnostics, fundamentally altering how bioanalysis is conducted within clinical environments. Traditionally, diagnostic testing has relied heavily on centralized laboratories equipped with sophisticated instruments, often leading to delays in patient care due to extended turnaround times. This conventional model, while effective for many applications, has inherent limitations, particularly in urgent care scenarios where rapid decision-making is critical. In response to these challenges, POCT has emerged as a groundbreaking solution, enabling healthcare professionals to perform diagnostic tests at or near the site of patient care.
