Sysmex XT-1800i Automated Hematology Analyzer

• 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 throughput

Up to 80 samples per hour for this class of equipment.

Analysis parameters

Commonly includes CBC, 5-part or 6-part WBC differential, and body fluid analysis.

Sample volume

Typically requires small volumes of whole blood or body fluids.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on standard laboratory mains power, typically 100-240V, 50/60Hz.

Technology

Often utilises flow cytometry and impedance methods for cell counting and differentiation.

Footprint

For this class, a benchtop unit requiring a dedicated space for the analyser, PC, and reagents.

• What kind of maintenance does an automated hematology analyzer typically require?

  Routine maintenance commonly involves daily cleaning cycles, periodic replacement of reagents and waste containers, and scheduled calibration checks. Specifics will vary by model and usage.

• Is specialised training required to operate this equipment?

• What consumables are needed for this type of analyzer?

• Can this analyzer integrate with Laboratory Information Systems (LIS)?

• What are the typical environmental requirements for operating this equipment?

Hematology analysers are valued for reliable blood cell counting and differential analysis essential in clinical diagnostics. Buyers typically seek models offering automated operation, consistent accuracy, and reasonable throughput for their laboratory volume. Common strengths include straightforward maintenance protocols and compatibility with existing laboratory information systems. When purchasing used equipment, buyers should verify calibration records, assess electrode condition, and confirm reagent availability remains current. Established manufacturers generally maintain good service support and spare parts availability across UK laboratories.
