DxH 520 5-part differential closed tube hematology analyzer
DxH 520 HEMATOLOGY ANALYZER Minimum footprint. Maximum productivity. The new closed tube 5-part differential analyzer—because great things come in small packages Spend more time on patient care and less on operational tasks with the powerful, compact DxH 520 closed tube hematology analyzer, the latest in a legacy of low-volume solutions.
MAXIMIZE LABORATORY PRODUCTIVITY The DxH 520—designed for high reliability—delivers automated tasks, efficient reagent usage, easy reagent replacement, and powerful patient and QC data-management tools. All of this means increased productivity and maximum uptime for laboratories. Enhance uptime and system maintenance › Ensure uptime with proven system reliability Know that results will be delivered precisely when needed.
Optimize laboratory performance › Achieve fast analysis—in 60 seconds or less Simplify work processes and allow rapid turnaround of specimens with intuitive and powerful software, helping to minimize patient wait times. › Create valuable space Maximize available space with an analyzer that is smaller than a standard microwave and does not require a separate PC or monitor.
Improve data and quality control management › Gain powerful patient data-management tools • Reduce clerical errors, inefficiencies and risk with a bidirectional interface • Expand sample storage capacity—up to 30,000 patient samples—for easy delta checks and file retrieval • Upload records quickly and easily with a front-side USB connection port • Ensure patient privacy and security with customizable user login and automated timeouts with full traceability › Achieve trusted performance with a robu
REDUCE OVERALL OPERATING COSTS The efficiently designed DxH 520 can reduce overall operating costs through the use of non-toxic reagents and low power consumption for efficient management of the laboratory’s bottom line. Preserve valuable resources › Reduce reagent usage Use 50% less reagent volume per sample, compared to other low-volume analyzers. A single reagent bottle can support hundreds of tests.
DELIVER HIGH-QUALITY RESULTS The DxH 520 low-volume system provides accuracy through Coulter Principle technology and Axial Light Loss (ALL) for a 5-part white blood cell (WBC) differential. Proprietary dynamic gating increases the automated differential accuracy, delivering more reportable results with less unnecessary flagging. Hemoglobin is read accurately using the cyanide-free oxyhemoglobin methodology at 545 nm.
Improve flagging and reduce WBC differential slide reviews—while maintaining effective clinical sensitivity— with proprietary dynamic-gating technology › Improve confidence in the accuracy of the 5-part leukocyte differential with proprietary dynamic-gating technology compared to a static gate Take advantage of sophisticated gating technology that improves the identification of cell populations by adjusting the thresholds between cell-cluster arrangements.
Secure quality CBC results and eliminate guesswork › Provide fast, accurate CBC analysis using the Coulter Principle and digital pulse processing Achieve accurate WBC, red blood cell (RBC), and platelet counting and sizing with the proprietary Coulter counting method (Figure 3). Digital pulse processing enables the recognition of data points that fall outside the optimal counting zone. Removing these unreliable data points enhances count accuracy (Figures 1a and 1b).
