Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare disease characterized by a rapidly fatal hematological disorder usually associated with malignancies and severe infections and it presents with prolonged high fever that could not be controlled by antibiotics. More...27 Oct 2016
Handheld Coagulation Analyzer Recieves FDA Clearance
For the first time, the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has given 510(k) clearance for a point-of-care (POC) Prothrombin Time / International Normalized Ratio (PT/INR) device based on the new rules published in March 2016. Winner of multiple design awards (e.g. Red Dot Award and iFDesign Award), the device includes a number of innovations and features not found on most other POC analyzers. More...18 Oct 2016
Body Surface Area Helps Predict Response to Blood Transfusion
The risks associated with unnecessary transfusion of blood products, including infections, transfusion reactions, and, in some clinical situations, alloimmunization, makes a judicious approach to transfusion is of the utmost importance. More...06 Oct 2016
Performance of Hematology Analyzer and Peripherals Evaluated
The complete blood count and leukocyte differential count are the basic, most common tests in hematology laboratories. More tests can be performed at the same time; labor reduced, and results made more precise by an advanced automated hematology analyzer and slidemaker/stainer. More...05 Oct 2016
Hormone Test May Reduce Rate of Teens Misdiagnosed with PCOS
Measuring blood levels of the recently discovered hormone irisin may improve accurate diagnosis rates of teenagers with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and so reduce the number of unnecessary treatments prescribed to healthy girls at an especially critical stage in their lives. More...19 Sep 2016
