At present, the in vitro diagnostics market is one of the fastest growing markets globally. This remarkable growth can be attributed to the improved health care awareness, preference of the people for preventive health checkups, accessibility to disease specific tests, and shift from manual to semi-automated and automated instruments. Diagnostic laboratories are facing challenges in delivering high-quality, efficient and timely testing solutions due to rising health care awareness and stringent regulations that put pressure on the health care budgets. This has led to growing adoption of automated solutions and new analyzers that deliver high throughput in lesser time and with enhanced efficiency. Point-of care testing has gained momentum in the past few years to meet the demand for quick turnaround time, thus accelerating reliable results. D-dimer assays and POC kits have been developed to confirm the exclusion of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and disseminated in
