Horiba Pentra DX Nexus – Clinical Case Study: Multiple Myeloma

Overview Ideal for "hot lab" working Integrated Workstation with Color Touch Screen Micro-sampling from whole blood (CBC : 30 µL - DIFF: 53 µL) Cytochemistry, Impedance (real cell volume measurement) & Optical (analysis of the internal cellular structure by measuring light absorbance) - DHSS* Technology. Perfect homogenization of blood samples with reagents - MDSS** Technology. Features - ABX Pentra 80 Throughput: Up to 80 samples/hour Large capacity auto-loader (100 tubes) Stat sampling on open or closed tubes Automatic Sample Re-run Reagents: Only 4 onboard reagents and 1 diluent Perfect differentiation of the 5 WBC sub-populations with DHSS* Technology 3 histograms for RBC, BAS/WBC and PLT together with the 5 DIFF Matrix. Basophils counted through specific channel High resolution matrix includes the determination of 2 additional subpopulations (% and #): Atypical Lymphocytes (ALY***) and Large Immature Cells (LIC***)

Overview Autoloader with continuous loading capability Rack compatibles with most pre and post analytical systems Automatic reflex testing Double DIFF Matrix Body fluids Expert validation station DHSS* technology (*HORIBA Medical Patent) Features Methods of measurement: flow cytometry, Cytochemistry, Impedance, absorbance, Optical cytometry and fluoro-flowcytometry QuaDimension concept : automatic correction of the leucocyte count based on 4 independent principles DHSS: focused flow cytometry and sequential measurement (impedance and absorbance) Automatic reflex testing: selective and programmable (hematology parameters, alarms and flags, demography) Rack rotation mixing of samples: smooth and efficient Quality: complete traceability for each run in compliance with the accreditation requirements
