DxH 560 AL Hematology Analyzer
Save time and resources, eliminate manual intervention and deliver high-quality results, even for difficult-draw patient groups, with the DxH 560 AL Hematology Analyzer.
The DxH 560 can help your laboratory
Small and mighty, because good things come in small packages.
Save time and resources, eliminate unnecessary intervention and deliver high-quality results, even for difficult-to-draw patient groups, with the DxH 560.
- Save time and resources: with a multi-tube, compact hematology analyzer that has proven reliability, paperless data management and autonomous instrument daily cleaning
- Available when you need it: the DxH 560 is engineered for high uptime and system reliability at less than one service call per year
- Eliminate system readiness delays: experience hands-free, autonomous daily cleaning and startup. The DxH 560 was designed with reliability in mind and allows for high walkaway time with autonomous daily start-up and system checks, hands-free daily cleaning, plus simple and few reagent replacements for maximized uptime
- Load and go up to 50 samples: with on-the-fly continuous loading more than twice the capacity compared to the closest competitor
- Extended QC (eQC): with onboard bias, precision and accuracy monitoring without the need for internet or extra fees
- Reduce administrative errors and go paperless:: designed to work as hard as you do, the onboard data management in the DxH 560 can host up to 30,000 patient records—equivalent to a year’s worth of tests with typical usage
- Keep analysis running smoothly throughout the day: store and manage just three reagents, with simple and quick replacement, compared to six reagents with other analyzers in its class
- Test in tight spaces: with an integrated monitor and keyboard and only one external reagent, the DxH 560 requires up to 1/3 less laboratory counter space than other analyzers in its class
Deliver secure, high-quality, confident results with fewer unnecessary slide reviews within secure, expanded patient database capability
Ensure a more accurate 5-part differential with sophisticated flow cytometry with proprietary dynamic gating technology that reduces flagging by 40% compared to static gating. The sophisticated gating technology in the DxH 560 improves the identification of white blood cells (WBC) populations by automatically adjusting the thresholds between cell-cluster arrangements.(Figures 2a and 2b). More reportable results are seen with more challenging cell populations, such as lymphocytes and eosinophils, giving a more accurate 5-part leukocyte differential than static gating.
Improve physician and patient satisfaction
- With the first draw, meet the needs of difficult-draw patient groups such as infant, geriatric and oncology patients, without compromising on quality
- Conserve precious samples from infant, geriatric, oncology and other difficult-draw patients. With the DxH 560, laboratories can deliver critical first results accurately, with an aspiration as little as 17 μL
- Report pediatric results with confidence and with more accurate test result interpretation* based on comprehensive ranges established specifically for the DxH line — the first portfolio of hematology analyzers with comprehensive pediatric ranges
- Provide peace of mind for your patients with industry-leading privacy and security features — including customizable user login and fully traceable automated timeouts - guarding patient electronic personal health information
