EKF Diagnostics has announced the global launch of a new strip-based test for quick and easy hemoglobin analysis for anemia determination.
STAT-Site M hgb is a hand-held analyser that combines low cost-per-test with portability. The pocket-sized device delivers accurate hemoglobin analysis results within 30 seconds from 15 µL of finger-prick whole blood.
It is maintenance-free and boasts intuitive, step-by-step on-screen instructions to minimise training and ensure ease of use.
Due to its durability, portability and user-friendliness, it is especially suited to blood screening programmes in developing world markets, but it also has a niche in settings where operators are mobile. Using just one 3V Li type battery for every 1,000 tests and with an operating temperature range of 16° to 35°C, the analyser is also ideal for field use.
