Advanced hematology analyzers are now available that can improve healthcare, worker safety, simplify workflow processes and reduce medical errors. QBC STAR hematology analyzer manufactured by Drucker Diagnostics is one such unit. Extremely compact, it measures a small 16″ x 16″ for the entire self-contained unit and weighs only 19 lbs (8.6 kg).
The simplest solution for in-office CBC testing, the QBC STAR Centrifugal Hematology System is the perfect analyzer for a variety of point-of-care settings whose unique needs have traditionally not been met by wet analyzers. At the push of a single button, the unit produces an accurate CBC with the 9 most-requested parameters, making it the most user-friendly hematology analyzer available today. Parameters include hematocrit, hemoglobin, MCHC, platelet count, white blood cell count, granulocyte count, granulocyte percentage, lymphocyte/monocyte count and lymphocyte/monocyte percentage.
Flexible enough to use for both venous and capillary samples, this fully automated unit helps complete sample processing and analysis within just 7 minutes. This innovative approach employs dry hematology reagents instead of the bulky liquid reagents utilized by other methods.
With minimal training, even non-technical personnel can perform a CBC test with accuracy. The dry reagents contained in the STAR tube facilitate testing and analysis safely, accurately, and without the liquid reagents and the biohazard waste of impedance counters.
Operating it involves only a few simple steps:
- Fill the tube with the patient sample up to the mark between the two lines followed by mixing and then cap.
- Position the tube in the rotor.
- Press the start button.
- Patient results will be displayed on the LCD screen, and can be printed for filing in the patient's chart.
Purchasing this equipment from the online store of an established lab equipment supplier in New York would ensure competitive pricing and excellent after-sales service.
