Complete Product Description

The ABX PENTRA XL 80 is a leading hematology analyzer with 26 parameters and 5 part DIFF. In addition to unique new features, the PENTRA XL 80 incorporates all the key features of the PENTRA 80 including fully automated throughput of 80 samples per hour to provide a CBC + DIFF leucocyte count with over 26 parameters. The new Customized Dilution Ratio (CDR) of the PENTRA XL 80 uniquely enables automatic linearity extension and completely removes the need for manual dilution of out-of-range samples. The CDR pushes back the linearity limits with a choice of three different ratios (1/2, 1/3, 1/5) for over range samples without any operator intervention.

To provide a complete solution to laboratory requirements by treating hematology workflow with intelligence, the ABX PENTRA XL 80 also incorporates a cutting edge fully integrated data management system that enables onboard validation of results. The Integrated Validation Station automatically provides report validation and positive and negative Delta check flagging. In addition, it undertakes patient reporting using selective results for mixing from run, re-run and manual entry.

The new analyzer is also ideal for micro sampling, since the technology behind the PENTRA XL 80 is based on a patented double sampling needle and MDSS technology which results in very low sample volumes - 30ul for CBC (53ul for CBC+DIFF). Furthermore, as both rack and sample barcodes are read, the ABX PENTRA XL 80 guarantees accurate sample identification. Equally importantly, end-over-end rotation of tubes prior to sampling ensures optimal sample homogenization and result quality.
