Tray Insert for Thermocult Bacteriological Culture Cabinet

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

Method
Photometric turbidity measuring

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.

Reagent

Ingredients: Gowers’ solution (pre-pipetted in single-test cuvettes) sodium-sulfate 194 mmol/l acetic acid 2,8 mol/l pH = 2,5

Storage and shelf-life

Shelf-life: the reagent is usable until the expiration date on the package, if stored in the dark at +15 °C to +25 °C.

Safety-notice

The reagent contains 16,9% acetic acid and is classified as a dangerous compound according to EG-regulations. Classification: Xi (irritating). Observe hazard warnings and safety tips on package. Safety brochure available upon request.

• for all miniphotometers like Dr. Lang, Bayer Combur etc.
• round-cuvette test for determination of the number of erythrocytes

For performance-diagnostic and training-control

For recreational or performance sports as well as rehabilitation in cardiac and pulmonary diseases. Lactate, the salt of lactic acid, occurs during physical stress. There’s a relationship between the lactate-concentration in the blood and the intensity. As a rule: the more intense the muscular demands, the higher the lactate-value. The instant measuring of the blood’s lactate-level with Accutrend Lactate therefore affords the choice of the individually correct training-intensity, sensible balance between stressing muscles and relaxation, reduction of over-stressing and danger of injury.

In the clinic and emergency medicine

The lactate-value reflects the extend of a hypoxia in the tissue. Its value can therefore be used for the prognosis of morbidity and mortality. There is a connection between level of injury and level of lactate-concentration. The repeated control of lactate after 12 hours, additionally enables the prognosis for patient survival. Lactate-determination is therefore indispensable in many emergency situations: i.e. with shock, cardio-vascular diseases, heart-failure, and cardiac arrest.

• simple and quick lactate-diagnostic
• requires just 15-50 µl blood
• results in 60 sec.
• memory for 100 values
