Ease of Use and Accuracy

In vitro diagnostic (IVD) devices are continually advancing to improve the early detection of diseases, infections, and other health conditions. This is particularly evident in the expanding market of point-of-care testing (POCT) where diagnostic devices such as blood monitoring systems and test kits for infectious diseases and viruses (flu, COVID-19, HIV) are becoming more accessible to the public. Plastics are a preferred material for IVD devices and kit components due to their inherent properties, customizability, and lightweight nature. Avient's portfolio of healthcare-specific thermoplastics, color solutions, and functional additives helps make your IVD devices safe, accurate, and easy to use.
