OVERVIEW

Tropical Health Systems’ platform technology is designed specifically to address the requirements of point-of-care and critical-care settings, and to increase access to accurate diagnosis of life-threatening diseases and monitoring of chronically ill patients.

pScreen™ is a patent-protected biosensor platform. It is a disposable, highly sensitive, immunoassay for the detection and quantification of proteins/biomarkers at the point-of-care. It provides accurate and quantitative results, in a matter of 15 minutes or less, on drop-size body fluid, such as blood, saliva, and urine.

pScreen™ brings complex and expensive in-vitro diagnostic tests out of the laboratory into the point-of-care settings, including doctor’s offices, patient’s bedside, homes, and low-resources settings.  It provides accurate results that compare for sensitivity and specificity to ELISA and other lab-based immunoassays, while remaining low-cost, robust, easy to use, portable and entirely disposable.

Unlike any other point-of-care or laboratory-based immunoassays, pScreen™ does not require electrical power, battery or supporting hand-held devices. Hence, pScreen™ is entirely disposable and low cost. This feature makes pScreen™ uniquely positioned to become the Point-of-Care diagnostic test of choice for millions of people and healthcare practitioners.
