Frequently Asked Questions about PCT consultations
A PCT clinical specialist reviews your submission and contacts you within 2 business days via your preferred method. Initial consultations typically cover your clinical applications, current workflow, volume requirements, and any specific technical questions.
PCT Expert Consultation Service is Thermo Fisher Scientific's clinical support program connecting healthcare facilities with procalcitonin specialists. The service delivers tailored education, implementation guidance, order set development, and ongoing compliance assessment to help hospitals integrate PCT testing into antibiotic stewardship programs effectively.
Yes. During your consultation, you can request an on-site demo or arrange to visit a nearby reference site. We also offer virtual demonstrations for initial evaluations.
You'll be connected with a PCT clinical specialist-typically with a background in clinical chemistry, laboratory medicine, or molecular diagnostics who can address both technical and operational questions.
Healthcare facilities request PCT implementation support by contacting Thermo Fisher Scientific's clinical team. A Medical Science Liaison is assigned to guide your facility through protocol development, provide education on PCT kinetics and clinical applications, and assist with order set creation throughout the implementation process.
Most laboratories complete their evaluation in 4-8 weeks, including technical review, site assessment, and procurement discussions. Timelines vary based on your organization's approval processes.
