Blood and Body Fluid Analyzer Developed for Medium-Sized Labs

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 21 May 2009
A new, automatic analyzer has been developed for analysis of blood and body fluids in hospitals with medium-sized laboratories. The analyzer will play an important part in the diagnosis of a number of diseases, including different types of infection and leukemia.

Automated digital cell morphology is the process by which cells are automatically located on a stained peripheral blood or body fluid smear, preclassified, stored, and presented for confirmation by a technologist. The images then become available for access by physicians at any time for perusal.

Using the new analyzer laboratories can achieve time reductions (up to 50 %) and more standardized analyses. To count and classify white blood cells is a very common routine analysis in hematology laboratories. Trends indicate that medium-sized laboratories would like to automate the analytical process. Increased automation gives lab personnel more time and increases objectivity, safety, and standardization in the analytical work.

Called CellaVision DM1200, the instrument is CellaVision's (Lund, Sweden) next generation analyzer, and is the latest addition to the company's current range of products that include CellaVision DM96 and CellaVision DM8. The new instrument is based on a new cost-reduced hardware platform, is automated, and has a wider range of uses. Body fluid software can be added to the analyzer for analysis of fluids such as cerebrospinal fluid.

The official product launch will take place at the international Annual Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo AACC in Chicago, USA, on July 20-24, 2009. CellaVision DM1200 will be commercially available in Europe in around the same time.

CellaVision AB develops and markets systems for automatic differentials of white blood cells and erythrocyte morphology, and software for education and quality assurance of differentials.
