Diabetes analyzers and tests

EKF strives to improve patient access to diabetes care diagnostics through the provision of affordable, easy-to-use technology, reducing the cost of long-term healthcare of the diabetic and pre-diabetic population.

Our diagnostic tests for glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and glucose deliver fast and reliable results that provide both practitioner and patient with the information they need to make clinical or lifestyle decisions in minutes

We specialize in easy-to-use technology for HbA1c, glucose and whole blood B-HB measurement

  

Our diabetes care products

Quo-Lab® and  Quo-Test® 

EKF’s two HbA1c point-of-care analyzersQuo-Test and Quo-Lab, are designed to deliver results traceable to the IFCC reference method within just four minutes.

Diabetes and HbA1c testing

Diabetes Mellitus is a lifelong metabolic condition in which the body becomes resistant to the effect of insulin or does not produce enough of this hormone to process glucose.

There are multiple options for the diagnosis of diabetes, most of which involve measuring the level of glycemic control a person exhibits i.e. how much glucose is present in their blood.

EKF-Ketosis-Guide.jpg

A guide to ketosis and B-HB

The detection of ketosis is important in several clinical conditions. The most important is the detection of potentially fatal ketoacidosis in diabetics.

These fats are metabolized in the liver and this metabolism produces chemical byproducts called ketones. The buildup of ketones can prove fatal a condition known as acidosis.
