Point of Care Haematology range offers new parameters
16 April 2009
QBC® Europe have introduced three new calculated parameters to the QBC Haematology systems.
The three new parameters have been introduced to the Autoread and STAR capabilities. The calculated parameters RBC, MCV and MCH will be available on new Autoread and STAR systems, and existing systems will be able to upgrade via a new software cartridge or disc. Features of the QBC range include true Point of Care, leading edge technology, venous or capillary sample, no liquid waste or reagents and no user maintenance.
The QBC Point of Care Haematology range, including the QBC STAR™ POC Haematology system and the QBC Autoread™ Plus Haematology system, utilises Buffy Coat analysis technology using Acridine Orange as a fluorescent medium. The QBC STAR and QBC Autoread currently measure the clinically significant parameters most requested by physicians: • Haematocrit (HCT) • Haemoglobin (HB) • MCHC • Platelet count • White blood cell count (WBC) • Granulocyte count • Granulocyte percentage • Lymphocyte/monocyte count • Lymphocyte/monocyte percentage.
QBC® Europe is now seeking business partners to distribute the full QBC range in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and will be exhibiting at Achema 2009, Frankfurt 11th - 15th May.
