Description
The Mission Plus Hb Hemoglobin Testing System is a complete point of care kit that pairs the Mission Plus Hb meter with 100 test cartridges, 120 capillary transfer tubes and 2 optical verifiers in one package. It measures hemoglobin quantitatively in capillary or venous whole blood using reflectance photometry on the methemoglobin principle, returning a result in less than 15 seconds from a 10 microliter sample. The kit arrives with the carrying case, user manual, quick reference guide and warranty card, so a clinic can open the box and start testing. It is built for professional in vitro diagnostic use in primary care and point of care settings.
- Complete kit, ready to test – meter, 100 test cartridges, 120 capillary transfer tubes, 2 optical verifiers, case and manuals in one box
- Results in under 15 seconds – reflectance photometry reads a 10 microliter whole blood sample with laboratory comparable precision
- Wide measurement range – hemoglobin from 5.6 to 23.5 g/dL with calculated hematocrit values on every result
- 1,000 result memory – stores results with date, time and ID number, with a mini USB port for data transfer
A Complete Hemoglobin Testing Kit for Point of Care Sites
Point of care hemoglobin testing only saves time when the meter, the cartridges and the sampling supplies arrive together and work together, and this kit is assembled exactly that way. The meter reads the test cartridge automatically once the code chip from the cartridge canister is in place, so there is no manual calibration step between patients. A fingerstick sample of about 10 microliters is applied with the included capillary transfer tubes, which helps the operator collect a sufficient sample every time. Results appear in less than 15 seconds and include a calculated hematocrit value alongside the hemoglobin reading. The two included optical verifiers let staff confirm the meter optical system each day before patient testing, as the manufacturer recommends. Everything packs into the included carrying case, which makes the kit practical for clinics that share one system between rooms or sites.

Why Choose This Testing System Kit from MedicalEx?
Buying the meter, cartridges, verifiers and tubes as separate orders invites mismatched lots and missing pieces on the first day of testing. This manufacturer assembled kit removes that risk, because every component is the one ACON validated for the system. It is the fastest route from delivery to a working hemoglobin testing station.
- One box, working system – every component the manufacturer specifies is inside, including the daily QC verifiers
- Validated component match – cartridges and code chips are the manufacturer matched set for this meter
- Backed by a 3 year meter warranty – documented manufacturer coverage, not a reseller promise
Manuals and Troubleshooting Guides
Frequently Asked Questions
What comes in this kit?
The kit contains the Hb meter, a carrying case, the warranty card, a quick reference guide, the user manual, 2 optical verifiers, 100 test cartridges, 120 capillary transfer tubes and the package inserts. It is the manufacturer’s complete configuration of the testing system.
How much blood does each test need?
Each test uses about 10 microliters of whole blood, from either a capillary fingerstick or a venous sample. The included capillary transfer tubes help collect and apply that volume accurately.
How fast are results?
The meter reports a hemoglobin result, with a calculated hematocrit value, in less than 15 seconds. That speed suits point of care workflows where the result guides the same visit decision.
Does the meter store results?
Yes, it stores up to 1,000 records with the date, time and ID number. A mini USB port supports fast data transfer to a computer for record keeping.
What warranty covers the meter?
ACON Laboratories warrants the meter against defects in materials and workmanship for three years (36 months) from the original purchase or installation date. The warranty applies to the meter itself, and the kit includes the warranty card for registration.
Who is this system intended for?
It is for professional in vitro diagnostic use in point of care and primary care settings. Operators should run the optical verifier check daily before patient testing, as the manufacturer recommends.
