Information that counts.™
Quick Study.
Let’s get right to the point.
No one has time to wait for answers. That’s why we developed QScout® RLD (Rapid Leukocyte Differential). It reports a white blood cell and differential count at patient-side in about 2 minutes from a drop of blood. Results include immature infection-fighting cells some labs count manually.

AAD mourns the loss of board chair Bob Shapiro
​​
​With sadness, AAD announced today that its chairman of the board, business leader Robert B. “Bob” Shapiro, has died at 86 following a battle with cancer.
​​
Shapiro joined AAD’s board in 2014 after the venture firm he co-founded made an investment in AAD. He became chairman in 2015. Shapiro led the board during AAD’s expansion from point-of-cow testing company Advanced Animal Diagnostics to the creation of sister company Ad Astra Diagnostics, which develops patient-side, rapid human diagnostics.
​
Forget the hassle.
QScout® RLD requires no lengthy machine startup time or sample prep. No wet reagents that need to be changed or disposed. No pumps. Only a drop of blood. It goes from powered off to your first result in about 3 minutes. It’s easy to use with minimal training.
See the difference.
It’s an imaging-based system not prone to the challenges of flow cytometry or the Coulter Principle. Cells are examined directly by a trained computer using AI instead of indirect measures like light scatter or electrical resistance.
