Hemolysis QC

Precise free hemoglobin measurement of supernatant of RCC

Pebble

Overview Specification Support Documents

Hemolysis QC is essential for accurately measuring free hemoglobin in the supernatant of stored red blood cell concentrates. It helps assess hemolysis levels, ensuring the quality of blood banks and transfusion laboratories.

Hemolysis QC is essential for accurately measuring free hemoglobin in the supernatant of stored red blood cell concentrates. It helps assess hemolysis levels to support the quality assessment of stored red cell concentrates (RCC).

This compact, specially developed device delivers reliable results in just 1–2 seconds. It uses broad-spectrum photometric technology and compensates for stray light, ensuring high measurement accuracy.

Results can be transferred directly from the Hemolysis QC to your PC or laboratory database using EKF Link, allowing seamless data integration.

Hemolysis QC is maintenance-free and user-friendly. It operates via a power supply or USB connection and integrates easily into existing lab workflows.

The system provides a fast, precise, and practical solution for monitoring hemolysis in RCC, ideal for laboratories focused on quality and efficiency.

Please note: Not all products are available in all countries. Please check with EKF for availability.

This device is powered by EKF Link,
an optional software solution for healthcare providers,
centralizing data management for
point-of-care analyzers on one flexible platform.
