Shop hemoglobin meters, Hb monitors and compatible hemoglobin test strips from Microsidd India for rapid hemoglobin testing in healthcare, point-of-care and appropriate personal monitoring settings.

This collection brings together three different digital hemoglobin testing systems available from Microsidd: Quikchek Plus Hb Meter, Mission Hemoglobin Monitor and TrueHb Hemometer, along with their compatible replacement test strips and selected meter-and-strip combo packs.

Each system uses its own specified Hb test strips. Test strips from one hemoglobin meter should not be assumed to be compatible with another meter merely because both products measure hemoglobin.

The most important buying rule is:

Always match the exact Hb meter model with its compatible hemoglobin test strips.


Shop Digital Hemoglobin Meters

Digital hemoglobin meters provide a rapid quantitative Hb result from a small whole-blood specimen when used with the correct compatible test strip.

Microsidd currently offers three distinct hemoglobin monitoring systems:

  • Quikchek Plus Hb Meter by ACON
  • Mission Hemoglobin Monitor by Mission / ACON
  • TrueHb Hemometer

These systems differ in test time, sample requirements, measurement range, memory, intended workflow and compatible strip platform.


Quikchek Plus Hb Meter & Test Strips

The Quikchek Plus Hb Meter is a portable digital point-of-care hemoglobin testing system from ACON.

It quantitatively measures Hemoglobin (Hb) and provides a calculated Hematocrit (Hct) value when used with compatible Quikchek Plus Hb Test Strips.

Key characteristics of the current system include:

  • approximately 10 µL whole-blood sample,
  • results in less than 15 seconds,
  • capillary or venous whole-blood testing,
  • Hb measurement with calculated Hct,
  • memory for up to approximately 1,000 results, and
  • portable point-of-care operation.

Mission Hemoglobin Monitor & Test Strips

The Mission Hemoglobin Monitoring System from Mission / ACON is designed for rapid quantitative hemoglobin testing using compatible Mission Hb Test Strips.

The compatible Mission system uses dry-reagent strip technology and is suitable for applicable professional point-of-care testing workflows.

Current Mission Hb system specifications include approximately:

  • 10 µL whole-blood sample,
  • less than 15-second result time,
  • capillary or venous whole blood,
  • quantitative Hb measurement, and
  • calculated Hct capability on the compatible system.

The TrueHb Hemometer is a portable digital hemoglobin monitoring system designed to measure Hb from a small blood specimen.

The current TrueHb system is positioned for convenient hemoglobin monitoring and provides a digital Hb result in less than approximately 60 seconds.

The current meter information lists:

  • digital hemoglobin measurement,
  • result time under approximately 60 seconds,
  • measurement range up to approximately 24 g/dL,
  • memory for up to approximately 1,000 readings, and
  • portable testing capability.

Which Hemoglobin Meter Should You Choose?

The appropriate system depends on the intended testing environment, required workflow and availability of compatible strips rather than simply choosing the lowest-priced meter.

Requirement System to Consider
Rapid professional point-of-care Hb testing Quikchek Plus or Mission Hb
Hb + calculated Hct requirement Quikchek Plus / compatible Mission system
Portable personal Hb monitoring TrueHb
Need replacement strips readily available Choose the system matching the refill strips you can reliably obtain
Clinic / screening workflow Compare sample size, test speed, memory and strip cost before choosing

This table is intended to explain product positioning and should not be treated as a medical recommendation.


Hemoglobin Meter Compatibility Is Critical

Digital Hb test strips are not universal.

Use:

  • Quikchek Plus Hb Meter → Quikchek Plus Hb Test Strips
  • Mission Hb Monitor → compatible Mission Hb Test Strips
  • TrueHb Hemometer → True Hb Test Strips

Do not insert a strip intended for another Hb meter into your device unless the manufacturer explicitly identifies it as compatible.


Hemoglobin Test Strips Are Not Glucose Test Strips

Hb test strips and blood glucose test strips are different diagnostic consumables.

A hemoglobin meter measures hemoglobin concentration. A glucometer measures blood glucose.

Their strips are not interchangeable even when the devices may look similar.


What Does a Hemoglobin Meter Measure?

Hemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying protein present in red blood cells.

A digital hemoglobin meter provides a quantitative Hb measurement from the specified blood specimen using its compatible test system.

Hemoglobin testing can support clinical assessment and anemia screening, but the result alone does not identify the cause of an abnormal Hb value.


Hemoglobin Meter vs Traditional Sahli's Hemoglobinometer

Digital Hb meters and the traditional Sahli method are different testing approaches.

Digital systems use a meter and compatible disposable testing consumables, while the traditional Sahli method involves laboratory glassware, reagent and visual colour comparison.

This collection focuses primarily on digital hemoglobin meters and their compatible test strips.


Hb Meter vs HbA1c Monitor

A hemoglobin meter should not be confused with an HbA1c analyser.

They measure different parameters:

  • Hemoglobin / Hb meter: measures hemoglobin concentration.
  • HbA1c analyser: measures glycated hemoglobin for assessment of longer-term glucose exposure.

An HbA1c device therefore belongs to a separate diagnostic product category and is not a substitute for an Hb meter.


How to Choose Compatible Hemoglobin Test Strips

Before ordering refill strips:

  1. Read the exact brand and model printed on your meter.
  2. Check the strip product's stated compatible meter.
  3. Confirm the pack size.
  4. Check the current expiry information.
  5. Review required storage conditions.
  6. Confirm whether any code chip or calibration component is required.
  7. Do not order strips solely because the words “Hb” or “hemoglobin” appear on the pack.

Hemoglobin Test Strip Expiry & Storage

Hb test strips are diagnostic consumables and must be stored according to the instructions provided for their specific system.

General handling principles include:

  • keep strips in their original manufacturer packaging,
  • protect them from unsuitable heat and moisture,
  • close vial or canister packaging promptly where applicable,
  • do not use damaged strips,
  • do not reuse test strips, and
  • never use strips beyond the applicable expiry.

The exact temperature range and after-opening period can differ between strip systems. Always follow the specific product instructions.

Microsidd's Hemoglobin Meter Knowledge Hub is being developed to help customers and healthcare professionals understand meter selection, strip compatibility, testing procedures and storage requirements.


Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hemoglobin meter?

A hemoglobin meter is a diagnostic device designed to measure hemoglobin concentration using a compatible test system and the required blood specimen.

Which hemoglobin meters are available from Microsidd?

Microsidd currently lists Quikchek Plus, Mission and TrueHb digital hemoglobin testing systems.

Are all Hb test strips interchangeable?

No. Each hemoglobin meter should be used only with the strip system specified as compatible by the manufacturer.

Can Mission Hb strips be used with Quikchek Plus?

Do not assume compatibility. Use the strips specified for the exact meter system.

Can Quikchek Plus strips be used with TrueHb?

No substitution should be made. TrueHb requires its specified compatible True Hb strips.

Are hemoglobin strips the same as glucometer strips?

No. Hemoglobin and glucose are different test parameters and require their respective compatible testing systems.

How quickly can a digital hemoglobin meter provide a result?

It depends on the system. Quikchek Plus and Mission provide results in less than approximately 15 seconds according to their current system information, while TrueHb currently lists results in less than approximately 60 seconds.

Can a hemoglobin meter diagnose anemia?

A hemoglobin measurement can support anemia screening and clinical assessment, but the measurement alone does not establish the underlying diagnosis or cause. Clinical interpretation should be performed by an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

What should I check before buying Hb strips?

Check the exact meter model, compatible strip family, pack size, expiry, storage requirements and any coding or calibration requirements.
