Hemoglobin Analyzer is Fast, Easy, Portable

EKF Diagnostics’ DiaSpect Tm hemoglobin analyzer is a palm-sized point-of-care analyzer that is fast and easy-to-use in all climate conditions since it combines laboratory-quality performance with measurement speed and extensive battery life.

The analyzer is robust as it has no moving parts. It uses reagent-free microcuvettes that are unaffected by humidity, unlike reagent-based systems. These plexiglass microcuvettes also have a long shelf life of 2.5 years with no need for refrigeration, as they can be stored from 0 to 50 C. The analyzer is portable and lightweight at just 185 g and has a battery life of 40 days of continuous use, or 10,000 tests, because of its integrated rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It is factory calibrated against the HiCN reference method in accordance with ICSH and requires no re-calibration or maintenance, as it undertakes an automatic self-check between every measurement. Its “always on” technology means the analyzer is permanently ready for use. The user simply collects a capillary or venous blood sample of <10 µL in the microcuvette and inserts it directly into the analyzer. Hemoglobin results are delivered in 1 sec, which can then be downloaded to a PC via USB or Bluetooth.
