Beckman Coulter AcT 5 Diff
Hematology Analyzer 
 

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 AcT 5 diff CP 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
