Portable Blood Analysis System Provides Rapid Accurate Results

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 21 Jan 2009
A portable blood analysis system is used in any human patient-care setting to provide clinicians with rapid blood constituent measurements.

The new system consists of a compact 5.1 kg portable analyzer and a series of single-use plastic discs. More...
These reagent discs contain all the chemicals required to perform a panel of up to 14 tests on human patients, as well as 13 tests on veterinary patients.

The analyzer requires minimal training of lab personnel in order for them to be able to operate and perform multiple routine tests on whole blood, serum, or plasma samples. The new system offers the precision and accuracy equivalent to a clinical laboratory analyzer. The analyzer is a product of Abaxis (Union City, CA, USA), a medical products company that manufactures point-of-care blood analysis systems.

Abaxis originally developed Piccolo technology for the National Aeronautics and Space Organization (NASA). It is routinely used by the U.S. military, physician offices, hospitals, urgent care clinics, and oncology clinics. The next generation compact Piccolo Xpress analyzer provides multi chemistry panels in virtually any treatment setting with the precision and accuracy of larger laboratory analyzers.

Abaxis veterinary business also provides a line of hematology instruments for point-of-care complete blood counts (CBC) to the veterinarian and research market
