Point-Of-Care Analysers And Endoscopy Equipment At HCE
General diagnostic equipment covers the day-to-day tools that clinicians reach for when a quick, in-clinic result helps move a routine appointment forward. Some of these tools complement laboratory work rather than replacing it, depending on the test and the setting.
The general diagnostics range at HCE focuses on two well-known names in this space: HemoCue for point-of-care blood analysis and Ambu for endoscopy visualisation.
The HemoCue range covers four core blood tests, with dedicated consumables for each analyser system. Used together, they help GPs, hospital staff and community diagnostic teams complete common tests during a single patient visit.
Our HemoCue analyser range includes:
- Haemoglobin: The HemoCue Hb 201+ Haemoglobin Analyser and the HemoCue Hb 301 Haemoglobin Analyser, with matching Hb 301 microcuvettes available for the 301 system.
- White blood cell count: The HemoCue WBC Total Analyser for total counts, and the HemoCue WBC 5 Part DIFF Analyser System for a five-part differential count.
- HbA1c: The HemoCue HbA1c 501 Analyser, used in diabetes monitoring at the point of care.
- Glucose: The HemoCue Glucose 201+ Analyser, measuring blood glucose in mmol/L for clinical use.
Alongside the HemoCue analysers, the range also includes Ambu equipment used in endoscopy services:
- Endoscopy monitors: The Ambu aView 2 Advance Gen 2 Endoscopy Monitor, a monitor designed for use with Ambu’s single-use video endoscopes.
- Endoscopy carts: The Ambu aCart Plus is a mobile cart for transporting and storing endoscopy monitors and accessories between treatment areas.
For practices that need a wider diagnostic toolkit, our diagnostic testing range covers a broader set of test kits, strips and consumables. In contrast, our laboratory equipment range supports the sample processing side of diagnostic workflows.

FAQs
What does HCE’s general diagnostics range cover?
The HCE general diagnostics range brings together point-of-care blood analysers from HemoCue (for haemoglobin, white blood cell count, HbA1c and glucose) and endoscopy visualisation equipment from Ambu (the aView 2 Advance Gen 2 monitor and the aCart Plus mobile cart). It is aimed at clinicians who need reliable in-clinic results during routine appointments and procedures.
What is a point-of-care analyser?
A point-of-care analyser is a device used at or near the patient to produce a test result during the appointment, rather than sending the sample away to a central laboratory. HemoCue analysers stocked at HCE cover haemoglobin, white blood cell count, HbA1c and glucose, all of which can be measured in this way.
Are HemoCue analyser consumables available from HCE?
Yes. HCE supplies HemoCue Hb 301 microcuvettes for use with the HemoCue Hb 301 haemoglobin analyser. Other HemoCue consumables are also available in our diagnostic testing range.
Can NHS practices order general diagnostic equipment from HCE?
Yes. NHS teams, GP surgeries and private healthcare providers all order from HCE through our standard ordering process. NHS purchase orders are accepted, and eligible customers can apply for a 30-day account. Visit our official NHS orders page for more information.
