With Express Hemolysis Detection
Preanalytical errors in point-of-care testing can lead to inaccurate results, additional time, and increased costs.1,2
If hemolysis is suspected in a sample, another sample collection may be required, and sent to the lab for retesting.1,2 This can result in extra time, additional costs, and patient discomfort. For optimal patient care, clinicians need immediate, quality-assured results, including hemolysis detection.
How whole blood hemolysis detection is possible
GEM Premier 7000* with iQM3 utilizes patented technology for hemolysis detection similar to that used in traditional laboratory analyzers. Based on a photometric measurement of whole blood, here's how the hemolysis module works:
- Acoustofluidic flow cell separates whole blood and detects hemolysis
- Optical detector and an LED light source use photometric measurement of plasma-free hemoglobin to determine the degree of hemolysis in the sample
- Hemolysis is flagged on potassium (K+) results on the user interface, in seconds
