Both capillary (fingerstick) and venous samples are supported per local labeling.
- Q
Does iMOST support capillary blood testing?
A - Q
How accurate is the system?
AiMOST demonstrates lab-comparable agreement with high-end central lab analyzers. Clinical studies show strong correlation across CBC parameters, including HGB (r≈0.99) and WBC (r≈0.99).
- Q
How easy is iMOST to operate?
AThe workflow is designed to be simple:
- One Q-card
- One press
- One insertion
Usability studies indicate that operators—including elderly patients under supervised settings—can use the system with minimal training.
- Q
How much blood is required per test?
AEach test requires approximately 10 µL of blood applied to the Q-Card.
For iMOST-L, direct finger-to-card transfer is supported. If there will be a delay before testing, collecting the sample in an Essenlix-recommended K2EDTA tube is recommended to help maintain sample integrity.
For iMOST-U, it is recommended to collect capillary blood into an Essenlix-recommended K2EDTA tube (approx. 100 µL) prior to testing.
- Q
What is the difference between iMOST-L and iMOST-U?
AFeature iMOST-L iMOST-U Parameters 12 parameters (including 5-part diff) 19 parameters (Full CBC + Indices) Runtime ~3–3.5 minutes ~4–4.5 minutes Sample Transfer Direct finger-to-card transfer Recommended K2EDTA tube collection - Q
Maintenance Guide
ABefore Test: Charge the system to greater than 30% battery or plug-in.
After Test: Clean the exterior surface of iMOST L with disinfectant reagent, or as required.
Note: after wiping, please clean up the liquid residual with tissue.
