Hemoglobin monitoring

Professional Hemoglobin (Hb) & Hematocrit (Hct) Testing — Fast, Simple, EU-Wide

This hub helps professional users understand:

  • Why Hb/Hct testing is valuable in rapid screening and operational settings
  • Who the system is designed for (and why)
  • How testing works (workflow)
  • What to buy depending on whether you already own the meter

Why measure hemoglobin in professional screening settings?

Hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) are widely used clinical parameters that support fast decision-making in settings where you need quick, low-threshold screening and a consistent workflow.This is especially relevant in occupational health, sports medicine, blood banks, and acute care.

This matters especially when:

  • You need a rapid indication before escalation to a lab pathway
  • You work with time pressure and high throughput
  • Testing must be feasible with minimal sample volume and simple steps


Professional note:
 Interpretation and clinical decisions must be performed by qualified healthcare professionals and according to local protocols.

Who the Mission Plus Hb system is for?

Mission Plus Hb is designed for professional settings that depend on speed, portability, and reliable workflows:

Occupational health / corporate screening providers

  • On-site health checks and preventive screening
  • Fast turnaround without lab logistics for initial triage
  • Portable workflow for high-volume events

Sports medicine & performance clinics

  • Efficient testing in outpatient workflows
  • Supports medically supervised monitoring pathways
  • Same-visit results to support operational decisions

Blood banks & donation screening environments

  • Structured workflows with consistent step-by-step testing
  • Fast results where operational flow matters

Ambulances, EMS and emergency care environments

  • Rapid point-of-care results in operational settings
  • Straightforward workflow under time pressure

How testing works (simple workflow)

A practical, repeatable workflow built for professional use:

  1. Insert the test strip (with the correct code chip as instructed)
  2. Collect a small blood sample (capillary or venous whole blood)
  3. Apply 10 µLto the strip using a transfer capillary
  4. The hemoglobin meter displays Hb and calculated Hct within 15 seconds.
  5. Store results in memory and export when needed (USB)


Good practice:
 Use standard hygiene procedures (gloves, swabs) and follow your site protocol for sample collection, handling and disposal.

What you need (choose your situation)?

Option 1 — You want to buy the meter (new professional user)

You’ll need:

  • Mission Plus Hb meter (starter pack recommended)
  • Hb test strips + code chip
  • Transfer capillaries (10 µL)
  • Lancing device + sterile lancets (for capillary sampling)
  • Standard hygiene supplies per protocol

What you need (choose your situation)?

Option 1: I’m a professional and want to buy the meter

You’ll need:

  • Mission Plus Hb meter (starter pack recommended)
  • Hb test strips + code chip
  • Transfer capillaries (10 µL)
  • Lancing device + sterile lancets (for capillary sampling)
  • Standard hygiene supplies per protocol

Option 2: I already have the meter and need consumables

Typical consumables:

  • Hb test strips
  • 10 µL transfer capillaries
  • Lancets (if performing capillary sampling)

Option 3: I already have a meter and need guidance

If you want step-by-step support, troubleshooting, and practical workflow guidance:

Testing is performed directly at the point of care, without laboratory processing.

Starter pack: what’s included (recommended for new users)

The starter pack is the simplest way to get operational quickly. It typically includes:

  • Meter
  • Hb test strips (often 50)
  • Code chip (matching the strip lot)
  • Lancing device and lancets (if included in your pack)
  • Transfer capillaries
  • Accessories (batteries, pouch, documentation)

Implementation & support (professional onboarding)

To ensure reliable operation in your environment:

  • Assign responsibility for consumable control (strips, chips, capillaries)
  • Standardise sampling and handling procedures across staff
  • Use your internal QA approach for point-of-care workflows where applicable
  • Keep documentation accessible for training and refreshers

If you need onboarding support for your team, route users to the Knowledge Base first, and escalate to your support channel as needed.
