Hemoglobin Point-of-Care Testing: The HemoCue System [PDF]

SLAS Technology, 2013
Besides the use of traditional laboratory resources, the diagnosis of anemia can also be accomplished by assessing hemoglobin (Hb) concentration with point-of-care testing (POCT) devices such as the HemoCue test systems. In several situations, these devices might suitably replace traditional laboratory testing, including several areas of health care ...
