The QBC Autoread Plus Haematology System can change the way you collect and analyse samples. The difference lies in the QBC Tubes. The QBC Tubes are internally coated with all the necessary reagents including acridine orange fluorochrome stain and anticoagulants (with the exception of the QBC Venous Tubes).
The system is flexible enough to use venous or capillary blood samples. A precision float is inserted into each tube to expand the Buffy Coat (white blood cells and platelets). After the sample is collected in the QBC Tube, it is centrifuged in the external centrifuge at 11,000-12,000 RPM for 5 minutes. This separates blood cells into bands based on density allowing for the measurement of the haematology parameters taking just 2 minutes.
