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.
