The HemoCue® Plasma/Low Hb System
Unique Quality Control
Free hemoglobin in blood products is an essential indicator of the quality and integrity of these products.1,2 With the HemoCue® Plasma/Low Hb System, you can quantitatively determine even low levels of hemoglobin in plasma, serum and aqueous solutions. With this convenient solution, you can also measure stored or banked erythrocytes.
Confidently Assess Hemolysis In Stored Blood Products:
- Replace subjective visual judgment
- Precise factory calibration against the ICSH reference method
- Unique microcuvette technology with excellent lot-to-lot reproducibility; bovine hemolysate liquid controls available
Get Easy Access to Lab-Quality Results:
- Plasma, serum, aqueous solutions or stored erythrocyte suspensions
- Provides quantitative results within one minute
- Brief training with preventative maintenance, other than cleaning
