Sysmex K-1000 Hematology Analyzer

• Routine blood count analysis in clinical laboratories.
• Screening for various blood disorders and infections.
• Monitoring patient health in hospital settings.
• Research and development in haematology studies.

Typical throughput

Commonly processes 60-80 samples per hour for this class of equipment.

Sample volume

Typically requires a small sample volume, often around 20-50 µL of whole blood.

Parameters analysed

Units of this type commonly analyse 8 CBC parameters and generate additional analytical parameters including WBC, RBC, and PLT histograms.

Footprint

Known for a space-saving design, typically suitable for benchtop installation.
