Creamatocrit Plus™: Precise creamatocrit measurement

Description

EKF Diagnostics' Creamatocrit Plus™ is a compact, bench-top instrument dedicated to measuring the creamatocrit of breast milk samples. This analysis provides an estimate of lipid concentration and caloric density, parameters important for managing infant nutrition, particularly in neonatal care. The unit can process up to six capillary tube samples simultaneously in a centrifugation cycle lasting about three minutes. The process separates the cream layer from the aqueous phase, allowing for a direct measurement of the creamatocrit percentage. This data assists clinicians in differentiating between lower-calorie foremilk and higher-calorie hindmilk, supporting tailored feeding plans for premature or low birth weight infants. The device is designed for quiet operation and has a relatively small footprint, with dimensions of 177 mm wide by 279 mm deep by 127 mm high.
