Overview of Automated Hematology Analyzer XE-2100

The XE-2100 is a new automated hematology analyzer developed by Sysmex Corporation. With consideration of medical analyzer requirements for the 21st century, this unit was developed to satisfy the following concepts and to cope with diversified laboratory needs. 1) Electronic network communication 2) Presentation of high level value-added information 3) Contribution to test cost control 4) Pursuit of a user-friendly analyzer The XE-2100 provides integrated reticulocyte analysis, previously available only in a separate device, and has the ability to enumerate nucleated red blood cells. The instrumentÕs capacity for high throughput allows simultaneous determination of five-part white blood cell differential, nucleated red blood cell count at the rate of 150 samples per hour. These features contribute to a significant reduction in report turn-around-time (TAT). In addition, the instrument is designed to provide remote maintenance support and on-line quality control reporting through an electronic network, thus improving laboratory management.
