Sphingotec: IB10 Sphingotest PenKit

SphingoTec has launched its IB10 sphingotest penKit. The CE-IVD-marked point-of-care test for proenkephalin allows for the real-time assessment of kidney function with a blood test. The test will be made available in Europe and other geographies that accept CE-IVD certification at the end of this month to the critical care community for further clinical evaluation. It will be available for use with Sphingotec's rapid POC platform, the Nexus IB10 that uses whole-blood samples without preprocessing, requires less than three minutes of hand-on time, and delivers test results in 20 minutes.
