Fast hemolysis assessment in the lab

Quantitative STAT plasma-free hemoglobin
results – right when your lab needs them

In modern clinical laboratories, every minute counts. Delays in assessing hemolysis can disrupt workflows, prolong turnaround times (TAT), and create pressure on already limited staff resources, which can impact patient outcomes.

The HemoCue® Plasma/Low Hb System changes that. It provides STAT plasma-free hemoglobin results within 60 seconds after centrifugation using a simple photometric method – no send-outs, no complex laboratory-developed tests (LDTs), and no guessing based on indirect markers.

Optimize your hemolysis
testing workflow

Laboratories face increasing demands for speed, accuracy, and efficiency – often with limited resources. The HemoCue® Plasma/Low Hb System is designed to support your team in delivering fast, reliable hemolysis assessment without complex setup or extensive training.

 

  • 80% of labs report complaints about TAT1 – HemoCue offers analyzer results within one minute
  • Unlike  lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) or hemolysis index methods, HemoCue provides a direct, quantitative hemolysis assessment
  • No calibration needed and no high-complexity LDT validation required – the Plasma/Low system is FDA-cleared and designed as moderately complex
  • Available validation plans and hands-on support from experienced specialists help minimize downtime from purchase to implementation

Our innovation makes it possible to easily and accurately assess hemolysis

The HemoCue® Plasma/Low Hb System is compact, easy to use, and designed for high-turnover, space-constrained labs where time and simplicity matter.
