Hematology systems are an indispensable tool in clinical laboratories and research facilities. These systems are used to measure a wide range of analytical parameters such as white blood (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, lymphocyte percent and number, red blood cell (RBC), granulocyte percent and number, mononuclear cell percent and number, red cell, platelet (PLT) or thrombocyte count, hematocrit, mean corpuscular (erythrocyte) volume and more.

Modern hematology devices are designed to meet the diverse needs of high-volume labs. The wide range of parameters incorporated into a single system provides more reliable indications. These systems are integrated with unique features such as automated sample handling, advanced data management, improved detection capabilities, multi-tasking options and color screens with color printouts for obtaining accurate results. Leading dealers offer unique models to suit the diverse needs of clinical labs. The QBC STAR Centrifugal Hematology System from QBC Diagnostics Inc is a compact blood count analyzer used in urgent care centers, pediatric offices, military bases and a variety of other settings.
