Thanks Tony
Thank you for the link. I'm not sure staff in our OPD would welcome this type of test either. It maybe something to pass on to our micro dept.
Kind Regards
Sharon

We are not using a POCT test for calprotectin but it was being considered recently in the community. After discussion with my clinical lead it was felt that staff in the community would not welcome this test due to the nature of the sample and any sample preparation that was required. I know of Preventis CalScreen and Preventis CalDetect. Here is a link to some products:
