Delta Optical Thin Film A/S - Optical Filters for Point of Care Optical Filters for Point of Care

Delta Optical Thin Film A/S
Point of Care (PoC) instruments have various uses in medical diagnostics, including the detection of infectious diseases such as Covid-19. These types of tests only require a single drop of blood, saliva, or urine and can be performed by a GP within minutes. Many tests require absorbance or fluorescence detection methods, which all demand optical filters. The optical filter is one of the most important components of a PoC instrument.
