Introduction to Medical Instruments and Growing Trend for Point-of-Care and Near-Patient Testing

Abstract: This tutorial discusses the growing trend of using medical instruments in point-of-care and near-patient settings. Focusing on representative examples (blood gas analyzers and flow cytometers) from the analytical instrument segment, it describes critical design considerations for migrating these medical devices to portable form factors.
