Problem
Traditional blood diagnostic testing often requires sending samples to centralized laboratories, leading to delays in obtaining results and hindering timely clinical decision-making, especially in point-of-care settings. Existing point-of-care solutions may lack the comprehensive test menus and accuracy of reference laboratories.
Solution
General Fluidics offers the Axess™ point-of-care testing platform, designed to bring reference laboratory-quality blood diagnostics directly to the patient's side. The Axess™ platform integrates hematology, clinical chemistry, and immunoassay technologies into a single, low-cost cartridge, enabling a comprehensive test menu at the point of care. This streamlined, end-to-end solution simplifies the testing workflow from sample collection to result delivery, reducing the burden on clinical staff and minimizing pre-analytical errors. The platform's hybrid hardware architecture and programmable cartridge facilitate flexible testing options, accommodating standard, consolidated, and custom test panels.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes healthcare providers, hospitals, and clinics seeking to improve patient care through faster, more accessible, and higher-quality point-of-care blood diagnostics.
