Creamatocrit Plus™

$Field;U_FAQs$

Creamatocrit Plus™ centrifuge

Creamatocrit Plus™ is the first and only system dedicated to providing a fast, accurate creamatocrit measure.

Creamatocrit Plus introduces a simple and accurate technique for estimating the lipid concentration and calorific density in mothers’ milk. It provides information doctors need and the peace-of-mind mothers need to continue breastfeeding.

The creamatocrit technique is especially useful in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to ensure premature infants are receiving the calories they need to thrive. Creamatocrit Plus™ also guides the separation of foremilk and the high-lipid, high-calorific hindmilk to accelerate weight gain in extremely low birthweight infants.

Creamatocrit Plus™ is uniquely placed to assist clinics specialising in woman and child healthcare. Its small footprint and quiet operation means that it can easily be incorporated into the busiest of settings and allow clinicians to make informed decisions at the point-of-care.

Ganka Pavlova
EKF Distributor in Bulgaria

“We distribute the Hemo Control product in Peru and we find it to be a very reliable, resistance and versatile product that works brilliantly for us.  Peru is a country of difficult geography and our teams have had to endure extreme cold, unbearable heat and vast differences in altitude (from sea-level right up to 4,500 meters). The Hemo Control analyzers are installed in sea-level establishments operating in temperatures over 35°C and in the mountains, at more than 4,500 meters above sea level at far lower temperatures. We also have establishments in the jungle, with the Hemo Control operating in the hot and humid climate”
