Hemocue HB 201 Microcuvettes (200 Count)

PRODUCT DETAILS

Description:
The HemoCue Hb 201 Analyser H6 System is a portable and easy-to-use device that measures hemoglobin (Hb) levels in whole blood. It is commonly used in clinical settings, such as hospitals and clinics, as well as in point-of-care testing (POCT) settings, such as doctors’ offices and pharmacies.The Hb 201 analyser uses microcuvettes, which are small tubes that contain a dried reagent. When a blood sample is added to the microcuvette, the reagent reacts with the hemoglobin in the blood to produce a color change. The intensity of the color change is then measured by the analyser and converted into a hemoglobin reading.The Hb 201 analyser is a very accurate and reliable device for measuring hemoglobin levels. It is also very fast, with results available in just a few seconds. This makes it an ideal tool for screening for anemia and other blood disorders.

5. Wipe away the first drop of blood with a gauze pad.
6. Gently squeeze the fingertip to produce a small drop of blood.
7. Touch the drop of blood to the tip of the microcuvette.
8. Fill the microcuvette until the blood reaches the fill line.
9. Wipe away any excess blood from the outside of the microcuvette.
10. Insert the microcuvette into the analyser.
11. Press the start button.
12. The analyser will display the hemoglobin reading in a few seconds.
13. Dispose of the microcuvette and gloves properly.

Tips for accurate readings:

• Make sure that the microcuvette is filled completely with blood.
• Avoid getting any bubbles into the microcuvette.
• Do not touch the optical window of the microcuvette.
• Clean the analyser regularly with a damp cloth.
• Store the analyser in a cool, dry place.
