HORIBA (Kyoto, Japan) is attending this year's ADLM where the company is showcasing its newly launched compact hematology analyzers that offer combined testing for Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and complete blood count (CBC)/differential (Diff). HORIBA recently expanded its award-winning compact hematology instrument range with the launch of new models with ESR on board. At ADLM 2024, HORIBA is presenting the new Yumizen H550E (autoloader), H500E CT (closed tube), and Yumizen H500E OT (open tube) which now offer combined testing for CBC/DIFF with ESR results from whole blood in 60 seconds.

Visitors to HORIBA’s booth at ADLM 2024 can learn more about the company’s innovative CoRA (Correlated Rouleaux Analysis) technology that has been used to integrate ESR into its three new analyzers. Combining CBC and 5-population white blood cell differential with rapid ESR, calibrated to the Westergren reference method, on one compact analyzer reduces costs per test and turnaround times, and saves laboratory space. Both the Yumizen H550E and H500E models have been further enhanced by offering new connectivity possibilities for data management through HORIBA’s Yumizen P8000 middleware, along with Yumicare. This remote technical support tool enables secure connection to the instrument to monitor workload, reagent consumption, quality control, and instrument alarms.

Also featuring is the new Yumizen C230 benchtop chemistry analyzer for small-volume laboratories with advanced and user-friendly features. This compact integrated solution is designed with system simplicity for efficient performance and processes tests with disposable cuvettes, enabling efficient resource usage. Paired with high-quality POINTE reagents, the new Yumizen C230 provides reliable test results. In addition, HORIBA is showcasing the new Yumizen C240 chemistry analyzer which is designed with system simplicity for expedient and efficient performance. Ideal for mid-sized to small labs, the Yumizen C240 is a compact and cost-efficient analyzer offering full walk-away capabilities and advanced features such as a washing station and pre-warmed detergent water.
