The D-10 Hemoglobin Testing System

HERCULES, Calif. – Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO and BIOb), a global leader of life science research and clinical diagnostic products today introduces new features of its D-10 Hemoglobin Testing System to better manage patient results, optimize quality control, and more closely match customer workflows and needs.

The D-10 Hemoglobin Testing System offers fully automated diabetes and beta thalassemia testing on a single platform for low to medium volume clinical labs and diabetes clinics. The system measures HbA1c to diagnose and monitor patients living with diabetes, screens for beta thalassemia, and detects abnormal hemoglobins.

"These improvements of the D-10 Hemoglobin Testing System reflect our commitment to A1c and beta thalassemia testing," said Dara Wright, President and EVP of Bio-Rad's Clinical Diagnostic Group. "The enhanced cybersecurity features secure patient information and improved remote support monitoring can reduce downtime in the laboratory."

New Features include:

  • Chromatogram export: helps clinicians see potential interferences that may affect the patient's HbA1c results
  • On-board QC module: optimizes QC and helps to ensure the reliability of results
  • Enhanced cybersecurity features: such as a white listing utility guarantees that only pre-defined programs can run blocking viruses and malware
  • Electronic reports: reduces waste and simplify storage and retrieval
