Pentra improves efficiency in haematology
Horiba Medical
Horiba Medical has launched the Pentra DX Nexus high throughput haematology analyser.
The bench-top analyser offers 50 parameters and a throughput of 120 samples per hour.
It is compatible with Haemcell, HORIBA Medical’s integrated laboratory solution. New features include the ABX Pentra ML data manager and an optional combination with SPS evolution slide maker/stainer.
The system can display information related to every sample run. A pop-up window on the data manager displays: identification; lot number; the expiry date of reagents and controls; as well as the status of quality control at the time of every result.
The features on the data manager include rules to provide the operator with advice based directly on ISLH guidelines and enhanced remote access with patient ID protection.
Further features include:
- A new laser source offers reduced heat and noise output and power consumption
- Additional sample racks offered on the instrument are also compatible with most pre- and post-analytical systems
- Multiple USB ports
- Colour touch-screen
