Performing clinical diagnostic analysis on hemoglobin concentration is a common blood test. These types of analyses are performed on a hemoglobin analyzer. Hemoglobin analyzers (also referred to as HbA1c Analyzer) can report the concentration of hemoglobin in a blood or urine sample in g/L, g/dL, or mol/L. HbA1c Analyzers can run tests with samples as small as 1uL in just a few minutes.
Hemoglobin is a protein that contains iron that is found inside each red blood cell (RBC) that transports oxygen throughout the body. Other than oxygen, hemoglobin also binds to other gases such as, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitric oxide. There are different types of hemoglobins some of which are known to cause diseases such as sickle-cell anemia. Hemoglobin A is the most common variant.

| Description | Hemo Control is easy to use and delivers results with a CV of < 2% for hemoglobin and hematocrit within 25 seconds from one small sample.
The EKF Hemo Control hemoglobin analyzer uses the innovative NXT microcuvette technology to deliver a quick and easy sampling procedure that also minimises Hemo Control is easy to use and delivers results with a CV of < 2% for hemoglobin and hematocrit within 25 seconds from one small sample.
The EKF Hemo Control hemoglobin analyzer uses the innovative NXT microcuvette technology to deliver a quick and easy sampling procedure that also minimises waste. NXT microcuvettes have been designed with a large opening to collect the blood sample, meaning that users can hold the cuvette at almost any angle to gather the blood sample from the patient. The NXT microcuvette also features a slot at the rear of the sample chamber that allows trapped air to escape. Trapped air in a blood sample will deliver inaccurate results, so by getting it right first time the Hemo Control NXT microcuvette keeps costs and patient discomfort to a minimum.

A simple procedure delivers lab-accurate results The Quo-Lab Hb A1c analyzer is a semi-automatic point of care device designed specifically to meet the needs of clinics and laboratories in situations where value for money instruments and consumables are a vital part of delivering diabetes care. A simple procedure delivers lab-accurate results within four minutes (CV <3% at 7% A1c) from a venous or finger prick blood sample of just 4ul. Quo-Lab uses the same boronate affinity methodology used by Quo-Test and is similarly unaffected by Hb variants.
Quo-Lab's step by step instructions are displayed on a clear, multi-lingual display. Training time is thus kept to a minimum, allowing nurses and clinicians to concentrate on patient care.
The Quo-Lab HbA1c analyzer can store up to 7,000 patient results. Alternatively results can be downloaded to a PC using a USB cable or printed using the optional printer.
Features - User-friendly features minimise training time
- Step by step instructions on display
- User selectable language
- Just 4 µl blood required from finger prick or venous sample
- Innovative blood collector allows easy and consistent sampling
- Results within 4 minutes
- Uses boronate affi nity methodology which is widely recognised as interference-free
- Measuring range: 4-15% A1c
- Imprecision: CV <3% at 7% A1c
- Unaffected by Hb variants, which do not result in reduced erythrocyte life span
- Traceable to the IFCC reference method
- Barcode reader to scan calibration data, patient and operator ID
- Stores up to 7,000 results
- User selectable dual reporting. User can select % DCCT, IFCC mmol/mol, eAG mg/dl or eAG mmol/l
- USB port
