In the rapidly evolving field of diagnostics, Atomo’s Pascal Test Cassette stands out as a game-changer. Designed to enhance performance and usability in point-of-care and self-testing, this innovative solution offers a range of features that set it apart from traditional diagnostic tools. Here’s a deep dive into the remarkable capabilities of the Pascal Test Cassette and how it compares to conventional lateral flow kits.
Unmatched Safety and Accuracy
Built-In Safety Lancet
One of the standout features of the Pascal Test Cassette is its built-in safety lancet. This design eliminates the risk of hazardous sharps injuries by securely locking the needle inside the device after use. This not only ensures user safety but also simplifies the disposal process, making it a practical choice for both healthcare settings and home use.
Accurate Blood Collection
Accurate blood collection is crucial for reliable diagnostic results. The Pascal Test Cassette includes a blood collection unit specifically designed to collect and deliver the correct sample volume without air bubbles to the test strip. This precision in sample collection ensures that test results are accurate and reliable, reducing the likelihood of false readings.
Integrated Buffer Delivery
The integrated buffer delivery system is another innovative feature of the Pascal Test Cassette. An in-built buffer storage blister allows for button-activated delivery of a precise quantity of buffer to the test strip. This not only simplifies the testing process but also minimizes user error, ensuring consistent and accurate results every time.
Superior Performance: Pascal vs Traditional Kits
An independent study was conducted to compare the Atomo Pascal cassette with a traditional, CE-marked multi-component whole-blood rapid lateral flow diagnostic test kit. The study involved participants with no blood testing or medical laboratory background, highlighting the user-friendly design of the Pascal device. The results were impressive:
- Blood Delivery: The Pascal device achieved a greater than 90% reduction in blood delivery errors when compared with a traditional blood-based rapid diagnostic test kit.
- Buffer Delivery: The Pascal device eliminated buffer delivery errors, achieving a 100% reduction.
- Completion Time: The test procedure with the Pascal device was completed almost 3 minutes faster than with traditional kits.
- User Preference: An overwhelming 90% of participants preferred the Pascal device over traditional kits.
These results underscore the superior performance and user-friendly design of the Pascal Test Cassette, making it a preferred choice for both healthcare professionals and patients.
