In vitro diagnostics

In vitro diagnostics (IVD) refer to tests done on samples taken from the body, such as blood or urine, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. These tests are conducted outside of a living organism, typically in a laboratory setting. IVD helps healthcare professionals make informed decisions about diagnosis and treatment. Common examples include blood glucose testing for diabetes and pregnancy tests. By analyzing these samples, IVD provides valuable information that can guide patient care and improve health outcomes.
