Abacus 5Analyzer Overview

An option to make your life easier – Autoloader

Abacus 5 is the most advanced model in our range of hematology analyzers, utilizing patented laser-based optical measurement technology developed by Diatron. It provides cost-effective, precise and accurate 5-part differential results.

Plugging easily into the side of the analyzer, the optional autosampler unit is instantly recognized by the analyzer software making the Abacus 5 a true “walk-away” system. The autosampler has the capacity for a maximum of 100 primary sample tubes including 10 racks of 10 sample tubes each. Capable of accepting a variety of tubes, continuous sample addition is possible after the first rack of 10 samples has been tested. Additional features of the autosampler include an on-board mixing system and cap recognition sensor to ensure that only capped tubes are mixed and processed by the Abacus 5 hematology analyzer.

Our hematology systems are based on two perfectly integrated components: analyzers and reagents. All Hematology analyzers are compact and have a convenient space economy. Our ISO 13485 certified reagent production is designed to meet the highest quality standards with all lots performance tested before release for sale. All reagents are assured to be cyanide-free and have an un-opened shelf life of up to 3 years. The use of Diatron reagents with Diatron analyzers is essential to assure the best performance and quality of results.

Key Features and Benefits

Diatron Reagents

Reliable – The long lifetime diode laser, diagnostic flagging system and cap recognition feature ensures optimal performance at all times and prevents sampling errors.

User friendly – A large, color touch screen allows easy, fast and efficient operation. The integrated barcode reader provides safe and rapid sample processing either manually or via an optional 100 sample capacity autoloader.

Efficient – The Abacus 5 provides a complete 26 parameter report including optical determinations of the 5-part WBC differential count. It offers open and closed tube sampling options and has a throughput of 60 samples per hour in either stat or autoloader mode. In addition, the analyzer has a 100,000 result database capacity.

Space saving – The Abacus 5 is one of the smallest 5-part differential analyzers, requiring minimal bench space. This makes it an ideal system for use in space-restricted environments such as clinics and small laboratories.

Cost Efficient – The Abacus 5 uses only 3 reagents to make an analysis plus a small volume of cleaner thus providing a 5-part diff result at a very competitive price. In addition, the analyzer requires minimal maintenance thus reducing its operational downtime.

Case study book is available for perfect interpretation of scattergrams.
