Sysmex - Sysmex XT-1800i Automated Hematology Analyzer

Applications & Use Cases

• Routine complete blood count (CBC) and differential analysis in clinical laboratories.
• Analysis of body fluid samples, including CSF, serous fluid, and synovial fluid, for RBC and WBC counts.
• Medium-volume laboratories requiring automated hematology testing.
• Facilities needing a 6-part WBC differential, including immature granulocytes.

Typical Specifications
