Featured Instrumentation & Equipment Fleet
World-class clinical analyzers powering this division
Beckman Coulter DxH 900
Beckman CoulterUp to 100 samples/hour with continuous automated rack feeding and STAT urgent sample interruption.
Enhanced Coulter Principle, VCS 360 3D Cellular Interrogation, and DataFusion Multi-Sensor Technology.
- VCS 360 interrogates white blood cells in near-native state using Volume, Conductivity, and 5-Angle Multi-Laser Light Scatter (0°, 10°, 20°, 28°, 43°)
- DataFusion multi-dimensional sensor analysis drastically reduces unnecessary manual slide review while flagging abnormal blasts and immature granulocytes
- Direct automated Reticulocyte count (RET%, RET#, IRF) and Nucleated Red Blood Cells (NRBC) without separate reflex gates
Beckman Coulter UniCel DxI 800
Beckman CoulterUp to 400 tests/hour; 120 specimens with continuous loading and up to 50 refrigerated onboard reagent packs.
Chemiluminescent detection with magnetic particle separation, automated sample aliquoting, and parallel pipetting.
- Walkaway operation with automatic reflex, repeat, and dilution algorithms
- Broad clinical menu across cardiac, tumor, endocrine, and viral markers
- STAT sample prioritization with zero disruption to active batch runs
Beckman Coulter Access 2
Beckman CoulterUp to 100 tests/hour; 60 samples with up to 24 onboard assays.
Standardized chemiluminescent detection, internal barcode reader, and dedicated touchscreen control.
- Identical analytical chemistry and assay protocols to the high-throughput DxI 800 for seamless cross-instrument consistency
- Zero dedicated external water system requirement, maximizing operational reliability
- Simple touchscreen operation ideal for STAT-focused immunoassay workflows
