The Point of Care (POC) and Point-of-Need (PON) diagnostic markets have gained new attention since the global SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The global public learned a great deal about the importance of utilizing POC or at-home laboratory tests. Today, more laboratory diagnostic researchers and developers racing to meet the demand for assays in other potential emerging infectious diseases and particularly the on-going battle with spread of TB, STI’s, and even the re-emergence of mpox, measles and Avian flu in cattle. In vitro diagnostic tests are the bedrock and main tool used in diagnosing pathogens, diseases in not just human, but animals, plants, and the environment.. Diagnostic tests are used not only to detect, but also used to assess immune response, predict disease severity through prognostics, monitor treatment and disease progression and to also conduct surveillance. Test, Treat, Trace.
