Abbott i-STAT, offered at Block Scientific, is a blood gas analyzer from Abbott Laboratories. It was manufactured originally by i-STAT Corporation, a top notch manufacturer of point-of-care diagnostics, which has now been acquired by Abbott Laboratories.

Abbott i-STAT is a hand held device proven to be useful for making a rapid and safe point-of-care blood testing for electrolytes, coagulation, glucose, cardiac markers (cTnI), chemistries, and hematology. Using as little as two drops of blood and a test cartridge, it can give accurate results within two minutes, whenever you need it.

Its ease of use, accurate lab results, small sample size, and rapid availability of lab results are the outstanding features which makes the device popular with healthcare professionals and consumers. For performing point-of-care clinical tests, it makes use of Precision PCx™ and PCx Plus™ glucose test strips along with self-contained cartridges. The use of self-contained cartridges makes the equipment simple to use and operate. It can hold up to 50 patient records and there is no need of having any cables or special wiring. By means of the instrument’s interactive menu, you can obtain stored patient records within a short time, whenever you need.
