New haematology analysers minimise microscopy slide reviews

HORIBA UK, Medical has announced the publication of scientific studies which demonstrate the excellent performance of its new HELO high-throughput, fully automated haematology platform on body fluid and pathological samples.

HORIBA’s Yumizen H2500 and H1500 automated haematology analysers within the HELO platform deliver enhanced precision for complete blood counts and white blood cell (WBC) differential testing, with body fluid analysis included as standard. This improves diagnosis, minimises unnecessary manual microscopy slide reviewing and enhances laboratory workflow, as highlighted by two recent scientific evaluation studies.

The first study was undertaken by Nantes University Hospital (CHU de Nantes) focusing on the need for automated analysis of biological fluids for robust and reliable results reporting. The second study explored the flagging efficiency of the new analyser.

Commenting on the successful outcome of the studies, Mandy Campbell (HORIBA Medical) said: “These evaluation studies undertaken by recognised authorities in haematological analysis, demonstrate the excellent performance of our new Yumizen H1500/H2500 automated haematology analysers both with body fluid and pathological samples. Body fluid analysis is available as standard on these analysers, which have been shown to enhance diagnoses and lower film review rates to improve laboratory workflow.”
