Product Description

Drucker Diagnostics 428605 - Centrifuge System QBC Autoread Plus Hematology Autoread Plus, Each

The QBC Autoread Plus Dry Hematology System is a reliable and rugged complete blood count analyzer used by thousands of practitioners around the globe. A cost-effective and virtually maintenance free system, the Autoread Plus provides point-of-care CBCs in just 7 minutes.

Product Features

The QBC Autoread Plus has a decade long proven track record of being extremely reliable in the world's harshest environments.

The Autoread Plus Dry Hematology System offers a durable, cost-effective option for conducting hematology testing in virtually any setting. The Autoread Plus System, which consists of a reader, a centrifuge, and an external printer, uses patented dry hematology technology to deliver a 9-parameter, 2 part differential.This results in many benefits for the user:

Eliminating Liquid Reagents

Unlike competing products, the Autoread uses no liquid reagents. That saves lab space for the user, since there is no need to store bottles of reagents. There is also less maintenance required, as there is no need for cleaning or replacing internal parts. The only waste products generated by the Autoread are the QBC tubes, which are easier to dispose of than dangerous biohazard reagent chemicals.

Durability and Portability

The Autoread System is the most durable CBC analyzer on the market, as its dry hematology technology and hard plastic frame make it suitable for conducting testing in even the harshest conditions. Because of the unique QBC dry reagent technology, the Autoread can be transported and quickly deliver results in any location. Setup time is minimal, as the Autoread is always ready to provide fast, accurate hematology analysis.

Easy to Use

Learning to use the Autoread is easy. After preparing a blood sample using a QBC tube, simply centrifuge the tube for five minutes at 12,000 RPM and then place it in the reader. Results will print out automatically using an attached printer. Office personnel can be easily trained to use the Autoread, making the most of any office's limited resources.

9-Count CBC

The Autoread measures nine IMPORTANT CBC hematological parameters from venous or capillary blood samples: hematocrit, hemoglobin, MCHC (mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration), platelet count, white blood cell count, granulocyte count and percentage, and lymphocyte/monocyte count and percentage. Clinical trials have demonstrated that the accuracy and precision of the Autoread System correlate well to accepted standard methods.

Reliability

The Autoread is exceptionally reliable. The system is permanently calibrated during manufacturing, so the user needs to only run a basic daily calibration check to verify satisfactory performance. Because of the unique QBC dry technology, the Autoread can deliver reliable results using only a fingerstick blood sample.

QBC Autoread Plus: Technology

The technology at the heart of the Autoread is a process known as Quantitative Buffy Coat (QBC) analysis.

This process, is based on the physiological phenomenon in which the differing densities of blood components will cause them to separate into layers when centrifuged at a high rate of speed. Click on the image to the right to watch a video on the Dry Hematology technology.

QBC tubes, including the many varieties available for the Autoread, take advantage of this phenomenon in two ways. First, through the use of a small plastic float with the approximate density of platelets and white blood cells (the "buffy coat"), those usually small layers can be physically expanded for greater analysis. Second, a metachromatic acridine orange stain coating the inside of the tubes stain lymphocytes and monocytes green, platelets yellow, and granulocytes orange, making the difference between layers visible, even to the naked eye. Once a sample has been centrifuged, the Autoread utilizes a dual light source and optical detector to read the results of the test. Once complete, the Autoread prints the results to an attached external printer.

FAQs

1. Is the Autoread considered CLIA waived?
Currently, all of the QBC Systems are moderately complex.

2. How often do I have to run external controls on the QBC Autoread Plus?
Traditional quality controls consists of running at least two levels of external control material each day of patient testing.

4. What type of sample is required for QBC Autoread testing?
Whole blood samples collected from either a capillary fingerstick or a venous blood draw (EDTA purple top tube).

5. How much blood is required to test on the Autoread systems?
The amount of blood is dependent upon the tube type being used:

Accutube - 70l
Standard Capillary - 60l
Standard Venous - 111l
What tube types can be used with the Autoread System?
Accutube, Standard Capillary, or Standard Venous.
