Beckman Coulter announced the launch of the DxH 560 AL, a tabletop hematology analyzer designed to reduce the time and resource constraints faced by small- to mid-sized laboratories, according to a press release from the company.
With the analyzer’s auto-loading functionality, closed tube aspiration and walkaway capabilities, users can continually add up to 50 samples, provide safety against blood-borne pathogens and spend less time on manual instrument tasks, according to the company.
The DxH 560 AL delivers results in 60 seconds or less. It can be used with difficult-to-draw patients (infants, oncology and elderly) because it only needs a 17 μL sample – less than a drop of blood.
The analyzer also provides privacy and security features including customizable user login, paperless data management and fully traceable automated timeouts.
The DxH 560 AL is part of Beckman Coulter’s DxH 500 series of small-footprint tabletop hematology analyzers, including the recently launched DxH 500 and the DxH 520. The full DxH 500 series of analyzers include dynamic gating for its 5-part differential, eliminating rejected results and lowering manual interventions.
