5 Reasons Labs Upgrade to Abbott Cell-Dyn Hematology Analyzers
Maintaining speed, accuracy, and efficiency in the hematology department is a daily balancing act. Complete Blood Count (CBC) orders represent one of the highest testing volumes in any diagnostic setting. When an analyzer produces frequent false-positive flags or imprecise white blood cell (WBC) differentials, laboratory staff are forced to perform labor-intensive manual slide reviews, creating severe turnaround time (TAT) bottlenecks.
To optimize workflow and reduce manual interventions, diagnostic facilities rely on the proven technology of the Abbott Cell-Dyn hematology family. Engineered for multi-angle laser light scattering and streamlined fluidics, Abbott Cell-Dyn systems deliver high-confidence cellular analysis across diverse laboratory footprints.
Here are 5 reasons why clinical laboratories upgrade to the Abbott Cell-Dyn series.
1. MAPSS Technology for Precise Optical Differentials
Accurate differentiation of white blood cells is critical for diagnosing infections, leukemias, and immune disorders. High-end systems like the Abbott Cell-Dyn Ruby utilize proprietary Multi-Angle Polarized Scatter Separation (MAPSS) technology. By analyzing up to 10,000 white blood cells per sample using four-angle optical scatter, MAPSS provides clear separation of neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils, significantly reducing unnecessary manual smear reviews.
2. Compact Benchtop Efficiency with the Cell-Dyn Emerald
Smaller clinics, urgent care centers, and physician office laboratories (POLs) require full CBC capabilities without sacrificing valuable bench space. The compact Abbott Cell-Dyn Emerald delivers automated 5-part differential testing in an ultra-small footprint. Its intuitive touchscreen interface and simple fluidic design allow lower-volume laboratories to process patient samples rapidly with minimal staff training.
3. High-Throughput Automation with the Cell-Dyn Ruby
For medium-to-high volume hospitals and reference laboratories, sample volume spikes during peak morning hours demand uninterrupted processing power. The Abbott Cell-Dyn Ruby processes up to 84 samples per hour and features an integrated autoloader that holds up to 50 tubes. Technologists can continuously load cassettes and walk away to handle other critical laboratory tasks, keeping throughput predictable and steady.
4. Flexible Micro-Sampling Capabilities
Obtaining sufficient sample volume from pediatric, geriatric, or oncology patients can be extremely challenging. Abbott Cell-Dyn analyzers are engineered with micro-sampling capabilities, requiring minimal whole blood aspiration volumes. This minimizes redraw requests, preserves patient comfort, and reduces pre-analytical sample rejections in sensitive patient demographics.
5. Cost-Effective Performance via Certified Refurbishment
Upgrading your hematology department with optical laser technology does not require a restrictive capital investment. Sourcing certified refurbished Abbott Cell-Dyn systems allows growing facilities to integrate high-end 5-part differential testing at a fraction of OEM retail costs, protecting operating margins while enhancing diagnostic capabilities.
