New light weight system delivers five part differential analysis from 12 μL of blood
Beckman Coulter India has launched DxH500 Hematology Analyzer, which has been designed for low to medium – volume haematology workloads and to promote rapid specimen turnaround in medium – sized clinics. The new system is able to provide a complete blood count (CBC) plus five-part differential from as little as 12 μL of whole blood or 20 μL for pre-dilute analysis. This makes the DxH 500 ideal for laboratories serving paediatric and geriatric patients, from whom sample taking can be difficult. The analyser provides speed; compactness and ruggedness, a must for low-to medium-volume laboratories seeking cost-effective high-end results. The DxH500 analyzer inherits the benefits of the latest technological innovations that are a hallmark of Beckman Coulter’s line of DxH Hematology solutions incorporating Beckman Coulter’s multidimensional, high-definition flow cytometric technology.
“Beckman Coulter has met the challenges, by once again reinventing an analyser of this category with unmatched performance, value and consistency of results,” said Ganesh Ramaswamy, Senior Vice president, High Growth Markets, Beckman Coulter Diagnostics. “This compact table-top haematology analyser combines testing, reporting capabilities and promises high levels of results that are the hallmark of our high-end diagnostic products despite being a fraction of the cost.”
Giridhar Baliga, MD, Beckman Coulter Diagnostics, South Asia said, “This exciting innovation will help address the needs of low-to medium-volume laboratories and also Tier II and Tier III towns where uncompromised quality of results can now be ensured even though the capital investment is less than one fifth that of a typical high-throughput five-part system.”
Giridhar Baliga reinforced how the analyser is radically different from traditional analysers and how the new analyser – that weighs just about 11 kg – will be the next game-changer in haematology for the hitherto untapped market. The analyser is encrypted with a specially designed power supply, making it highly portable haematology analyser that could also run optionally on a battery.
The exceptional features of the DXH500 like compactness, robust quality, and low sample volume requirement and its high up-time make it one of the most appealing offers in its class. The DxH500 analyser has been launched with a full range of controls and calibrators.
