HELENA LABORATORIES PROTOFLUOR-Z G2005000 HEMOTOFLUOROMETER ~ G 2005 000

ProtoFluor Z is a hematofluorometer dedicated to the measurement of zinc protoporphyrin in whole blood. Elevated zinc protoporphyrin (ZPP) levels are useful as an early indicator of iron deficiency. The ProtoFluor Z instrument is easy to use. The operator simply inserts the sample holder containing the sample into the instrument, then presses the measure button. The ZPP value is displayed on the LED and can be reported in µmol ZPP/mol Heme (ratio of ZPP to heme), in µg/dL whole blood at a 35% hematocrit for adults, or µg/dL whole blood at a 42% hematocrit for children. The ProtoFluor method is inexpensive, requires only one drop of whole blood, and takes only seconds to perform, making it an ideal screening test.
