DxH 520 Hematology Analyzer

The DxH 520 is a 5-part differential closed tube hematology analyzer, designed to help your low-volume laboratory enhance patient care through increased productivity with reduced costs. The system delivers critical results the first time with accuracy, with as little as 375 µL tube fill-volume and an aspiration of only 17 µL—ideal for pediatric or difficult-draw samples. Technologists can experience safety without compromise with closed tube technology, providing optimal security against blood-borne pathogens.

The DxH 520 hematology analyzer also has one of the smallest footprints in its class, uses only three reagents, and features a robust patient data and QC management package. Automated operational tasks promote ease of use, efficiency and uptime, freeing more time for patient care.

Maximize laboratory productivity

  • Optimize uptime with proven system reliability and an automated cleaning cycle
  • Experience infrequent and simple reagent reloading—easily change all three reagents in less than five minutes
  • Gain powerful patient and QC data management tools for paperless operations and to reduce clerical errors
  • Discover a more efficient use of laboratory counter space with the analyzer’s compact footprint—smallest in its class

Deliver high-quality clinical results

  • Ensure a more accurate differential with proprietary dynamic gating
  • Improve flagging and reduce slide reviews while maintaining effective clinical sensitivity

Reduce overall operating costs

  • Lower overhead costs by consuming fewer reagents and using less power due to a reduction in moving parts and a more intelligent, energy-optimizing design
  • Eliminate disposal costs with cyanide-, azide- and formaldehyde-free reagents
