What our long-term customers say

"mariPOC tests can be used to reliably demonstrate a COVID-19 infection. We use the negative result of the antigen test when planning to end the patient's isolation period."

"When treating clients' respiratory infections and pharyngitis, a doctor sometimes needs support from laboratory tests to make the most reliable diagnosis possible and to prescribe timely treatment. For example, medical treatment for influenza and pharyngeal Streptococcal infections is more effective the earlier the treatment can be started.

 

mariPOC is an excellent solution for our emergency clinics. The tests screen for multiple pathogens from a single sample at a time, and the results are quickly available to the doctor. Once the pathogen is identified, the doctor can make treatment decisions within the same day."
