Features
ABX Pentra 120 Retic SPS Concept and technology
- Methods of measurement: Cytochemistry, impedance, absorbance and flow cytometry (Eosinofix* and LMNE matrix).
- Reticulocyte profile:Thiazole orange, fluorescence, impedance, Argon-ion laser (Retix* and retic matrix).
- Balance Concept: Automatic control of the leukocyte count based on 3 independent channels.
- DHSS*: Focused flow cytometry and sequential measurement (impedance and absorbance).
- Automatic re-run of samples : Selective and programmable (hematology parameters and smears).
- Rotative mixing of samples : Smooth and efficient
- Wedge smear tape cartridge: Optimized slide preparation and no contamination.
- Dedicated slide staining wells : No contamination and minimum dye consumption.
- Liquid valves* ABX (no pinch valves): Reliability and volume accuracy
*ABX patents
