Pentra ES 60

Overview

  • Ideal for clinical research
  • Data management on stand-alone PC.
  • Micro-sampling from whole boold (CBC : 30 µL - DIFF: 53 µL) 
  • Cytochemistry, Impedance (real cell volume measurement) & Optical (analysis of the internal cellular structure by measuring light absorbance) - DHSS* Technology.
  • Perfect homogenization of blood samples with reagents - MDSS** Technology.

Features

Pentra ES 60

  • Throughput: Up to 60 samples/hour
  • Reagents: Only 4 onboard reagents and 1 diluent
  • Perfect differentiation of the 5 WBC sub-populations with DHSS* Technology
  • 3 histograms for RBC, BAS/WBC and PLT together with the 5 DIFF Matrix.
