POC hemoglobin analyzer HemoCue®

for clinical diagnosticportableserum

The degree of hemolysis is an essential indicator of the quality and integrity of blood products. With the HemoCue® Plasma/Low Hb System, you can easily and accurately estimate hemolysis directly at the point of care. Replace subjective visual judgment and have confidence in your answers. Key benefits In the laboratory, hemolysis is an important preanalytical factor that affects the accuracy and clinical utility of many test results. By assessing the degree of hemolysis before analysis, the sample can be accepted or rejected. The HemoCue® Plasma/Low Hb System makes it possible to easily and accurately estimate hemolysis without having to send the sample to a lab. 02 Portability enables testing anywhere 03 Precise factory calibration against the ICSH reference method 04 Brief training with virtually no maintenance 05 Proprietary microcuvette technology with excellent lot-to-lot reproducibility 06 Blood-based liquid controls available System specifications Principle Modified azidemethemoglobin reaction; dual wavelengths (570 nm and 880 nm) for compensation of turbidity Calibration Factory calibrated against the ICSH reference method; needs no further calibration Power AC adapter or 5 AA batteries Quality control Two levels of liquid controls Operating temperature 15-30°C (59-86°F) Storage temperature Photometer: 0-50°C (32-122°F) Microcuvettes: unopened 15-30°C (59-86°F); three-month open vial stability Sample material Plasma, serum, aqueous solutions or supernatant from erythrocyte suspensions Measurement range 0.3-30.0 g/L (0.03-3.0 g/dL, 30.0-3000 mg/dL, 0.02-1.86 mmol/L)
