Point of Care (POC) clinical chemistry and immunodiagnostic systems are portable diagnostic devices used to perform biochemical and immunological tests near the patient instead of in a central laboratory. They provide rapid, on-site results, which are critical in emergency, ICU, and outpatient settings.
