Abacus 5 (5-Part) CBC Analyzer with Autosampler, NEW- Includes Installation, Training, Initial Reagent Set, 1 Year Warranty
Analyzer Overview
The Abacus 5 system is a compact, bench top, 60 test/hour, 5-part laser WBC differential analyzer with two sampling modes: a cap piercing mode for closed tube sampling and another for open tubes. The Abacus 5 can be enhanced to meet your changing needs by adding an autosampler and / or a small sample volume module. This system is an ideal solution for most hospitals, laboratories and satellite clinics that are looking for more advanced technology which is reliable, safe, accurate and easy to use.
