This company’s QBC Autoread Plus System can be used for CBC testing in any point of care environment, such as a physician’s office.
     CBC testing is an important screening tool when patients present with fever, abdominal pain, and signs of anemia or bleeding disorder. This system allows more rapid diagnosis of critical conditions.
     The use of dry hematology reagents eliminates bulky liquid diluents and liquid biohazard waste. Factory-calibrated systems eliminate end-user calibration.
     This system utilizes the QBC AccuTube, which can be used for both venous and fingerstick samples. The tube delivers nine quantitative paraments, including hematocrit, hemoglobin, white blood count, granulocyte count (percentage and number) platelet count and MCHC.
