QBC Europe has launched the QBC Autoread Plus haematology system, which utilises patented Buffy Coat Analysis technology using Acridine Orange as a fluorescent medium.
The system measures the nine clinically significant parameters most requested by physicians.
Features of the QBC range include true point-of-care, venous or capillary sample, no liquid waste or bulky liquid reagents, no user maintenance or calibration, durability and portability.
As a result, the QBC Autoread Plus is said to be ideal for a number of situations.
The durability of the QBC Autoread Plus and the use of dry haematology technology make it ideal for use by military personnel.
The system is said to be durable in even the harshest conditions, and can be easily transported and quickly deliver results in any location.
The patented QBC technology is claimed to make CBC testing fast and simple.
With one tube for collection and analysis, the QBC Autoread can offer time-saving advantages.
The QBC Autoread Plus is also able to overcome the challenge of obtaining samples when testing children, according to the company.
Because of the Autoread's tube technology, it is possible to analyse a small sample of blood from a simple finger or heel stick.
