Automated hematology analyzers

Sysmex^® XN-Series Automated Hematology Analyzers enable laboratories of any size to automate all phases of hematology testing, implement auto-validation, expand parameter offerings, and participate in time saving e-services programs. The XN-9000™ integrates hematology analyzers with slide making/staining, tube sorting and archiving, and HbA1c analysis to automate up to 90% of the lab’s EDTA tubes. The Sysmex DI-60™ Integrated Slide Processing work cell integrates and automates cell image analysis to streamline slide review. Auto-validation options range from onboard rules to Sysmex WAM™ middleware. Parameters include immature granulocytes with every differential, RET-He in the reticulocyte profile and a new fluorescent platelet channel for Immature Platelet Fraction. Scalable and compact, other XN-Series configurations are also available to meet the needs of any lab.

Cellular analysis systems

The UniCel DxH 600 Coulter Cellular Analysis System, for mid- to high-volume laboratories, features high-definition signal processing and multi-angle light scatter technology, which produces 10 times more data than traditional hematology analyzers. Moving parts and tubing have been minimized to increase instrument reliability and technologist safety. The instrument’s modular design and small footprint make it the ultimate solution for the Lean lab, whether you are looking for a stand-alone or benchtop solution. Delivering workflow innovation throughout the hematology lab, the DxH 600 features customized decision rules to help reduce review rates and improve TATs; partial release of patient results manually or automatically via decision rules; and automated repeat testing.
