Some product questions you may want to ask:
1) What is the principle of 3 part hematology analyzer?
In a 3-part analyzer the cell counting is based on the Coulter Principle. All hematology analyzers utilise Coulter's Principle. 3-part differential cell counter employs Coulter's Principle to determine the size as well as volume of the cells. Coulter's principle is applied employing two electrodes.

2) What is the diluent in the hematology analyzer?
The diluent for the hematology analyzer comprises sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, a phosphate buffer agent, ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid, 1-pyridone-2-sulphur and formaldehyde, and the pH value of the solution is 6.5-7.4, and preferably is 7.2; the content of each component is preferably as follows: 5g/L of ...

3) What is the use of Lyse in hematology analyzer?
It is used to lyse (destroy) red blood celis for hemogiobin determinations or aid in the counting of white blood cells. Applicable to the hematology analyzers.

4) What is a hematology reagent with barcode?

Currently,three part models needn’t scan the barcode in common, and it can be used directly with connecting the reagent bottle.

There are some models that have to scan barcode to identify new reagents, like Beckman Coulter AcT diff, Mindray 5 part models and so on.

Currently, the manufacturers of instrument are aware of the importance of consumables, so the long-term trend is to make a closed reagent system by scanning barcode to change new reagents. However,the end customers will not willing to be completely close considering of cost and benefit so there are closed system and open system in the market.

Closed system: The manufacturers impose restrictions on software by scanning their barcode when changing reagents to prevent other compatible reagents.

Open system: The manufacturers do not impose restrictions on software so that reagents can be used no matter what brands.
