Blood Mixing Pipettes, Thoma-style

Method: Cyanmethemoglobin method

Sample material:
Use capillary blood or EDTA-blood capillary blood immediately. Venous blood can be stored up to 24 hours at + 15 to + 25 °C.

Storage and shelf-life:

The reagent is usable until the expiration date on the package, if stored in the dark at +15 °C to +25 °C. Do not freeze reagent.

Safety notice:

According to EG-regulations, the reagent is not classified as hazardous material / dangerous compound. The reagent solution contains highly poisonous potassium cyanide, which, due to its extremely low concentration (0,006 %), is not considered dangerous. A safety brochure is available upon request.

• for all miniphotometers like Dr. Lange, Bayer Combur etc.
• round-cuvette test for determination of hemoglobin concentrations

In only 2 to 3 minutes, the Reflotron systems deliver test results for 17 clinical-chemical parameters in whole blood, serum or plasma, results that are comparable to those coming from a standard laboratory. That means treatment can begun confidently and immediately.
Since results are directly at hand, they support treatment recommendations and can improve the patient’s readiness to cooperate. Both success of the practice and patient loyalty will be enhanced.

Utilization

• fast, exact results
• a space-saving, mobile and handy instrument with a well-thought out design
• initiate measurements at any time; can be started out of stand-by mode and with just a brief warm-up
• derive treatment at once from quick test results delivered in 2 to 3 minutes
• easy to use, thanks to the display-driven user guide
• data secured by near-instant documentation from the built-in printer or in internal memory
• calculation of individual cardiac risk after “Framingham” or “PROCAM” and of LDL cholesterol after “Friedewald”
  (ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol).
• additional tests available upon inquiry

Ideal for emergency applications, home visit and the infarct monitoring.

The new CLEARTEST Cardio rapid indicates an infarction just after 20 minutes. At the moment this is the fastest biomarker with a detection limit of 0,5 ng/ml.

With this rapid test 2 proteins are detectable:
– hFABP, which is released when a heart attack occurs (just after 20 minutes), perfect as well for the re-infarction monitoring on the 4th day.
– TROPONIN I, which arises after 8 hours and can be detected up to 8 days.
Note: Troponin T (manufacturer Roche) indicates an infarction only after 3 hours.

The testing procedure is truly simple and easy:
Only one drop of whole blood, serum, or plasma is needed for the specimen well. You can read the result exactly after 10 minutes.
Storage at room temperature.
