Transasia Bio-Medicals Limited, Mumbai, India’s largest In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) Company, has launched Sysmex XN Series – the first haematology analyser to use fluorescent flow cytometry and cell counting to detect abnormal samples. This was launched at 53rd Hematcon 2012, organised by the Indian Society of Haematology and Blood Transfusion (ISHBT).
Sysmex XN series plays an initial role in evaluation of haematological conditions and diseases, providing data in screening of anaemia and infections. The analyser on identifying abnormal samples flags relevant information and showcases the abnormalities in the scatter grams. This helps in early detection of bone marrow abnormalities and aids haematologists in their clinical investigations and further channelizing the future course of treatment.
The modular integrated transportation system comprises automated haematology analyser along with SP-10 slides preparation unit, thus enumerating clinically relevant parameters enhancing complete flexibility during comprehensive diagnosis. The Sysmex XN series from XN 1000 to XN 9000, embraces the modular concept and scalable system lab with 50 or >500 CBC samples a day and allows combination of multiple analysers, transport system, slides preparation system and other instruments to cater to small to large workloads.
Supported with innovative software technology, it allows laboratories to access on-line external quality control (QC) comparison with peer-group laboratories. The software also has the capacity to monitor instrument performance and external quality control from a technical (engineering) perspective. Predictive failure detection and maintenance monitoring are built into the XN analysers, and can be monitored remotely as required.
Another benefit of the XN series is the increased laboratory efficiency by reducing the number of false positive flags at higher sensitivity and specificity. It provides automated reflex / re-run testing based on the results enumerated. In addition, each XN module can be extended at any time with the addition of functions or ‘apps’, RET (reticulocytes), PLT-F (fluorescent platelets) and BF (body fluids). The analyser measures NRBC with every CBC.
The new advanced XN-Series is designed for a long product life and with a consistent user interface in all models. By leveraging on its strengths to deliver additional value, Transasia Bio – Medicals Ltd. with the launch of Sysmex XN, 6 part haematology analyser aim to secure its position as the undisputed leader in haematology.
