Abacus 5 differential hematology analyzer
Hospitals, contract labs, and satellite clinics can increase hematology test throughput and manage the operating budget more easily by adding a Diatron Abacus 5 to the hematology workspace.
The Abacus 5 system is a cost-efficient, compact, benchtop, 60 test / hour, 5-part laser WBC differential analyzer that comes with 2 sampling modes:
- A cap piercing mode for closed tube sampling
- A mode for open tubes
Make it just right for your lab by adding an autosampler and/or a small sample volume module.
Increase profits by offering more clinical blood diagnostics
You’re looking for a way to make the lab more profitable.
You can’t push your technicians any harder. But you can give them the tools to get more done with less stress.
You can decrease the amount of downtime for your most valuable tests.
You can make it easier for less experienced operators to perform tests with high confidence and minimal training.
This is how the Abacus 5 makes your lab more profitable.
Avoid human error
The Abacus 5 is reliable.
The long-lifetime diode laser increases uptime. The diagnostic flag system and cap recognition ensure less experienced operators aren’t making mistakes that cost the lab time and money.
No need for specialized training
This system was designed to be user friendly, saving you tons of time and headaches when training new users (regardless of their skill level). The large, color touch screen lets operators work intuitively with the Abacus 5.
The integrated barcode reader allows for rapid (and safe) sample processing, which can be done manually or with an optional 100-sample capacity autoloader.
For the frugal lab and clinic managers
The Abacus 5 uses only 3 reagents to perform analysis, so your overall arrogant costs go down vs competing hematology analyzers.
It also uses a small amount of cleaner and requires minimal maintenance, which reduces its operational downtime – and reduces the strain on your operating budget.
Get results that meet high demand
You’re under pressure to control costs, increase profits, and turn results around fast.
The Abacus 5 provides fast, accurate results, with:
- A complete, 26 parameter report, including optical determinations of the 5-part WBC differential count
- A throughput of 60 samples per hour, in either STAT or autoloader mode
- A 100,000-result database capacity
It speaks your language
Labs across the globe choose the Abacus 5 because this hematology analyzer features a logical, multi-lingual operating menu, and Windows-based software that allows for smooth and easy connection to your current laptop and printer.
Results are displayed with 2 histograms and 2 scattergrams, to provide lots of patient information.
