Improve Lab Productivity with the QBC STAR Centrifugal Hematology System

An innovative approach to in-office CBC testing, the QBC STAR centrifugal hematology system offers exceptional reliability and performance.

The QBC STAR centrifugal hematology system from Drucker Diagnostics is a great option for in-office CBC testing. While alternate methods use bulky liquid reagents, this innovative device employs advanced dry hematology technology for testing. Clinical trials provide evidence that the accuracy and precision of the QBC STAR System correlate well to accepted standards. This Centrifugal Hematology System is extremely compact and portable, with the entire self-contained unit measuring a small 16 inch x 16 inch. The device is specifically designed to improve healthcare worker safety, simplify workflow processes and reduce medical errors.

The QBC STAR measures the clinically significant parameters most requested by physicians:

*    hematocrit

*    hemoglobin

*    MCHC

*    platelet count

*    white blood cell count

*    granulocyte count

*    granulocyte percentage

*    lymphocyte/monocyte count

*    lymphocyte/monocyte percentage

Features and Benefits

This hematology system eliminates the need for liquid reagents and the biohazard wastes they create. The device also avoids the need for user calibration and routine maintenance. This QBC STAR System is fully automated unlike many other hematology systems. It can be easily operated even by non-technical personnel. Based on operational and failure data from clinical trials with both in-house and field instruments, the QBC STAR has been projected to have a three-year Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) rate. The installation time is less than thirty seconds as you just need to plug it in.

This system reduces the time, steps and hassles involved in CBC testing. It can be used for both venous and capillary samples. You can use the STAR tube as the single vehicle for collection and analysis when performing a finger puncture.

Operating the QBC Star

The operator simply has to present the sample, presses the START button and walk away while the system performs a fully automated CBC analysis. All of the reagents needed to perform a CBC test with the QBC STAR System are contained in the QBC STAR Tube. The operation using this centrifugal hematology system is simple and involves just a few simple steps:

*    Fill the tube with the patient sample up to the mark between the two lines followed by mixing and then cap.

*    Then you have to position the tube in the rotor.

*    Now you have to press the start button.

*    Finally, the patient results will be displayed on the LCD screen. You may also print for the filing in patient chart.

Importance of Choosing the Reliable Supplier

Purchase of the QBC STAR centrifugal hematology system from an established lab equipment supplier in New York would come with benefits such as great pricing, technical support and maintenance services.
