A new hematology analyzer is particularly suitable for small laboratories, satellite clinics, and doctors’ offices.Posted on 08 Apr 2014
Launched by the Diatron Group (Budapest, Hungary) the new Abacus 3CT hematology analyzer is a compact, bench-top, flexible 3-part differential analyzer. It offers 22 parameters thus delivering more patient data, and has a cap piercing capability that enables it to be used with sample tubes that are open or closed.
The new analyzer has been enhanced significantly from the original version. The most visually apparent changes are the introduction of the latest 8” high resolution and the color touch screen with new intuitive multilingual user interface, which makes it clear and simple to operate.
The new Abacus 3CT has an enhanced package of on-board quality control (QC) features. The QC capacity has been greatly increased to 24 lots, and QC values can now be loaded via QR codes or USB to avoid any incorrect assignment of values. Operating rights can also be assigned to selected operators to ensure that only trained persons can use the system. In addition, an on-board log details when reagents were last changed, with a constant on-screen display of reagent expiry dates as well as remaining reagent volumes. Other QC features include aperture anticlog protection and automatic cleaning after every 15 sample measurements.
To accommodate the increased volume of data generated by the 22 parameter measurements, the on-board data storage capacity of the Abacus 3CT has been doubled to 10,000 records, with improved laboratory information system (LIS) connectivity for results transfer.
Diatron develops, manufactures, and markets hematology and clinical chemistry analyzers, and associated reagents for human medical and veterinary use. An R&D/engineering team develops and manufactures a broad product range of products including: hematology analyzers, hematology reagents (both for its own and other manufacturers’ analyzers), hematology control material, clinical chemistry analyzers, clinical chemistry reagents, and clinical chemistry controls.
