Hematology

A hematology analyzer is a laboratory instrument used to count and classify blood cells. It commonly performs complete blood count testing and measures parameters related to red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and hemoglobin.

A CBC analyzer is a hematology analyzer used to perform complete blood count tests. It helps laboratories measure key blood parameters efficiently and consistently as part of routine diagnostic testing.

A 3-part hematology analyzer groups white blood cells into three categories, while a 5-part hematology analyzer provides a more detailed five-part white blood cell differential. The appropriate system depends on the laboratory’s testing requirements, workload and reporting needs.

A 6-part hematology analyzer provides an extended white blood cell differential and additional analytical capabilities, depending on the analyzer model. It is generally suited to laboratories that require more detailed hematology testing and automated sample processing.

Small laboratories generally benefit from compact hematology analyzers with lower sample-volume requirements, straightforward operation and throughput suited to their daily workload. HORIBA offers compact systems for small and mid-sized laboratories.

High-volume laboratories should consider automated hematology analyzers with higher throughput, continuous sample loading, autoloaders, data-management capabilities and workflow automation. The required configuration should be selected according to daily test volume and laboratory workflow.

Important factors include daily sample volume, required CBC and differential parameters, analyzer throughput, sample volume, open- or closed-tube handling, automation level, reagent requirements, quality-control features, data management and laboratory connectivity.

Automated hematology analyzers can improve sample processing, standardize blood cell analysis, support consistent reporting and reduce manual workflow. Some systems also support autoloading, result validation, rerun workflows and laboratory information system connectivity.

Yes. HORIBA provides compact, benchtop and automated hematology solutions designed for small laboratories, mid-sized diagnostic centres and high-throughput laboratories with different sample-processing requirements.

Hematology analyzer pricing depends on the analyzer model, configuration, automation features, throughput and laboratory requirements. A quotation can be requested from HORIBA India after sharing the required testing capacity and application needs.
