An evaluation of the HemoCue for correcting the haemoglobin value of lipaemic samples.
HemoCue, an instrument for measuring B-haemoglobin, is described as correcting for the turbidity caused by high white cell counts or hyperlipaemia. It was evaluated for its ability to correct haemoglobin measurement for hyperlipaemia against a previously published method and found to perform adequately, but with a small constant positive bias.
