The following invention relates to a device for visual detection of hemolysis in a whole blood sample from a pierceable container, said device comprising at least one visible detection compartment and a transfer passage connected to said visible detection compartment, said device further comprising means for passing through the container to the interior of said container for accessing the whole blood and permitting transfer of a volume of plasma from said sample to said detection compartment via said transfer passage, wherein said device further is arranged with a separation device for separating plasma from blood cells within said whole blood sample before said plasma reaches the detection compartment, said device further being arranged with means providing a capillary action for generating a capillary force urging said volume of plasma to be transferred through the separation device to said detection compartment.

Arrangement for detection of hemolysis

This invention relates to a testing system for assessing the level of a biochemical marker, comprising a disposable device () with a sample inlet () and a at least one visible detection compartment (A,B), arranged with composition including a chemical means (Y) for direct detection of said biochemical marker, wherein said composition also includes an inhibitor (Z) arranged to first detection compartment (A) being arranged to block the biochemical marker up to a certain concentration.

Testing system and method for testing

The present invention relates to a testing system for analyzing a risk of developing organ failure or presence of organ failure, said system comprising a disposable testing device arranged to receive a biological sample, which testing system is further arranged with means for measuring within said sample the total amount of at least a first biological marker in the form of an intracellular enzyme, and comprising means for analyzing the measured value of said intracellular enzyme, and based on the results thereof being arranged to communicate the risk of developing organ failure or presence of organ failure to an operator of said testing system. The present invention also relates to a method for analyzing a risk of developing organ failure, or analyzing presence of organ failure.

In vitro method for analyzing a comparison of an indicative numberic value to a predetermined threshold so as to assess a likelihood of risk or presence of organ failure

Detection instrument

A method of determining hypoxia in fetal scalp blood sampled during labor comprises the determination of total lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in plasma obtained from the sample. The method can comprise the additional determination of K, Mg, Ca, AST, ALT, lactate in the plasma and/or blood. Increased values of one or more of LDH, Mg, Ca, AST, ALT, lactate are indicative of hypoxia in the fetus. Also disclosed is the use of a plasma separation apparatus in the method.

Method of determining hypoxia

The present invention relates to a device for visual detection of hemolysis in a whole blood sample, comprising at least one visible detection compartment and a transfer passage connected to said visible detection compartment, said transfer passage being arranged to permit transfer of a volume of plasma from said sample to said detection compartment and wherein said transfer passage further is arranged with a separation device () for separating plasma from blood cells within said whole blood sample before said plasma reaches the detection compartment, wherein said device is arranged with subpressure means providing a subpressure inside said detection compartment for generating a force urging said volume of plasma to be transferred from said whole blood sample to said detection compartment through said transfer passage and via said separation device.
