Worldwide point-of-care testing: Compendiums of POCT for mobile, emergency, critical, and primary care and of infectious diseases tests

Abstract:We present two compendiums of point-of-care devices and rapid response tests available worldwide. Information was gathered from both direct and indirect survey sources and crystallized into two tables, one a summary of POCT for mobile, emergency, critical, and primary care, and the other, a
