Beckman Coulter AcT 5 Diff Hematology Analyzer
Beckman Coulter AcT 5 Diff Hematology Analyzer
| Product Description |
The COULTER AcT 5diff CP (Cap Pierce) hematology analyzer is another member of the growing Ac T 5 diff family. Not only does the AcT 5diff CP system offer 5-part differential testing for the most complete results it improves operator safety by featuring state-of-the-art cap piercing technology for closed tube sampling.
In Addition the COULTER AcT 5diff CP (Cap Pierce) hematology analyzer is remarkably cost effective. Laboratories that have previously relied on 2-part 3-part or manual differential analyses can move up to efficient 5-part differential hematology diagnostics at an affordable price.
To deliver a 5-part differential analyses the Act 5diff CP system employs Absorbance cytochemistry and Volume (AcV) technology. Monocyte neutrophil and eosinophil populations are identified using the absorbance patterns produced by differential cytochemical staining of their granules versus volume. Lymphocytes remain unstained and the basophil population is analyzed on a separate channel using volume gating and selective lysis.
Easy-to-Use Safe Solution
Cap piercing allows quick and direct access to a closed sample tube - a feature that not only reduces sample handling and saves time but enhances safety. Automated cap piercing also:
- Eliminates operators' exposure to biohazards
- Increases overall lab efficiency
- Reduces manual processing time
Easy to Operate
- CBC or CBC Diff mode and patient range selectable from the run screen
- One step start-up operation and shutdown
- Accommodates multiple tube sizes for increased system flexibility
- Specially formulated reagents controls and calibrators for accurate results
- Zero daily maintenance
Easy-to-Use Date Management
- Automated quality control evaluation reduces manual errors
- Patient storage streamlines data recall
- Automatic calibration saves time
- Interlaboratory Quality Assurance Program (IQAP) complements your lab's in-house quality control efforts and increases confidence in your results
- Qualitiative flagging for quicker review of patient results decreases turnaround time
- Twenty user-definable patient and action ranges increases flexibility
Easy On Your Budget
- Affordable 5-part differential technology
- Efficient use of samples and reagents in CBC and CBC Diff modes
- Compact design with on-board reagents requires minimal bench space
- Automated features translate into lower operational costs
- Optimal balance between clinical utility and cost-effectiveness
