The Sysmex XN-550 is a cutting-edge, compact analyzer from the XN-L series, specifically designed for small to medium-sized laboratories seeking high diagnostic precision and automation. This model combines industry-leading technologies with a space-saving design and an integrated management system.
Key Benefits & Features
- Workflow Automation: The built-in sampler allows for continuous sample loading, significantly increasing throughput and minimizing manual intervention.
- Expert-Level Diagnostics: Provides a full hematology profile of 28 parameters, including a 6-part differential (6-diff) for white blood cells.
- Small Sample Volume: Requires only 25 µL of whole blood, making it an ideal solution for pediatric and neonatal care.
- Intelligent Functions: Supports Rerun & Reflex functionality, enabling the system to automatically retest suspicious samples or perform additional tests based on predefined criteria.
Measurement Technologies
The XN-550 utilizes advanced detection methods to ensure high accuracy:
- Fluorescence Flow Cytometry: Used for in-depth WBC analysis and DNA/RNA content measurement to identify pathological cells (e.g., Immature Granulocytes - IG).
- Hydrodynamic Focusing: Combined with the impedance method, it ensures precise RBC and PLT counting.
- Cyanide-Free SLS Method: An eco-friendly hemoglobin detection technology resistant to interference from lipemia or high WBC counts.
Technical Specifications
- Throughput: Up to 60 samples/hour (standard) / up to 70 with the Speed-up option.
- Aspiration Volume: 25 µL (whole blood) / 70 µL (body fluids).
- Storage: Up to 100,000 results including graphs and scattergrams.
