T GENERAL
Full Screen Equine Endoscopy Systems
he EDGE™ Handheld Lactate Analyser only needs a small drop of whole blood -
capillary, EDTA or heparin (<3μl). The test strips have a siphon- ing action that draws the blood in and then measures using an ad- vanced biosen- sor specifi c for lactate
concen-
tration in blood. A numeric result is displayed via an easy to read, large LCD screen in less than 45 seconds with both date and time. The result is
comparable to a laboratory reference standard.
The EDGE™ stores up to 300
results, each with date and time displayed, and users can transfer these results into a PC for in-depth analysis.
