EKF Diagnostics Quo-Lab HbA1c Blood Analyser

Quo-Lab HbA1c Blood Analyser

The Quo-Lab HbA1c Blood Analyser provides lab-accurate test results within four minutes (CV < 3% at 7% A1c) from a venous or finger prick blood sample of just 4 μl. Quo-Lab uses the same boronate affinity methodology used by Quo-Test ® and is similarly unaffected by Hb variants.

Using patented boronate fluorescence quenching technology, the Quo-Lab is able to measure glycolated haemoglobin levels from blood samples as small as 4μl. The multi-lingual menus allow users to operate the device in their home language, and the onboard storage allows for up to 7,000 results to be saved for efficient data management.

The Quo-Lab HbA1c Blood Analyser boasts low-cost test cartridges, making it an essential tool for point-of-care settings.

The Quo-Lab HbA1c Blood Analyser was used in a 2023 study from The University of Melbourne (V. Tang, R. Symons, et al) about Contrast Increment and Decrement Processing in Individuals With and Without Diabetes.
