Abbott i-STAT Chem8 Plus Reagent

Abbott i-STAT Chem8 Plus Reagent is designed for use with the i-STAT 1 System in arterial or venous whole blood testing in point-of-care or clinical laboratory settings. Each i-STAT single-use cartridge employs advanced biosensor technology and microfluidics to process the most comprehensive range of clinical tests in a single platform, allowing clinicians to access time-sensitive diagnostic information. To run a test, apply 2 to 3 drops of blood to a cartridge, which is then inserted into the i-STAT handheld. Prior to running a test, each cartridge performs a series of predefined quality control diagnostics, ranging from monitoring sample quality to validating the reagent.
