Analysers combine semi-conductor laser flow cytometry with automatic calibration and minimal maintenance, and are believed to be the most advanced models available
Sysmex UK launched the brand new XT series of automated haematology flow cytometers at its recent user symposium held at the Belfry Conference Centre.
Built on proven Sysmex technology, the analysers combine semi-conductor laser flow cytometry with automatic calibration and minimal maintenance, and are believed to be the most advanced models available.
They are the ideal choice as main-line or back-up analyser for any laboratory demanding state of the art technology combined with a stylish and compact bench-top design, and come with full Sysmex service backup and support.
The XT-2000i provides fully automated reticulocyte analysis with no compromise in sample throughput, and offers substantial benefits in clinical decision making with enumeration of the Immature Reticulocyte Fraction (IRF) and Fluorescent Platelet Count (PLT-O).
The software is extremely easy to use with interactive menu icons serving the majority of the on-board functions.
Based on a Windows 2000 platform, the information-processing unit (IPU) provides the user interface and displays sample and stored data in full colour graphics, with an output to a printer or host Lims.
Each analyser can process up to 80 samples per hour, which can be increased to a combined throughput of 160 samples per hour when two identical analysers are linked as a twin configuration sharing a single IPU.
The networking capability of the XT series allows a combination of multiple analysers at any number of sites to be linked to a single server using the Sysmex Information System (SIS) for work area management.
