The DxH 520 is a 5-part differential closed tube hematology analyzer, designed to help your low-volume laboratory enhance patient care through increased productivity with reduced costs. The system delivers critical results the first time with accuracy, with as little as 375 µL tube fill-volume and an aspiration of only 17 µL—ideal for pediatric or difficult-draw samples. Technologists can experience safety without compromise with closed tube technology, providing optimal security against blood-borne pathogens. The DxH 520 hematology analyzer also has one of the smallest footprints in its class, uses only three reagents, and features a robust patient data and QC management package. Automated operational tasks promote ease of use, efficiency and uptime, freeing more time for patient care.
The DxH 520 received the SelectScience Scientists' Choice Award® for Best New Clinical Product of 2018. We appreciate the support of all the clinical scientists and healthcare professionals worldwide who cast their vote for the DxH 520.

Low-volume labs rely on 3-part differential hematology analyzers. However, there’s growing interest in 5-part differential hematology analyzers. Learn why.
Medical care of children and adolescents is significantly dependent on reference intervals to properly interpret laboratory test results. View multicenter published study from the American Journal of Clinical Pathology that establishes pediatric hematology reference ranges on the DxH 500 series.
The DxH 500 Series System technology allows for effective cellular analysis by incorporating the Coulter Principle and Flow cytometric optical measurements. Read the casebook to learn more about how the DxH 500 Series makes a difference in the Hematology world.
See how two hematology analyzers—the DxH 520 and the DxH 800—correlate when analyzing pediatric samples, ranging from neonatal to adolescent.
