Beckman Coulter DxH 520 Hematology Analyzer at Ferus Medical. Experience unparalleled precision in complete blood count testing with our compact, reliable, and easy-to-use lab equipment. Ideal for small to medium-sized labs seeking efficiency and accuracy.
Description
The Beckman Coulter DxH 520 is a 5-part differential closed tube hematology analyzer. It’s designed for low-volume laboratories, aiming to enhance patient care by increasing productivity and reducing costs. This system can deliver critical results with accuracy on the first run. It requires a minimal sample size, needing only as little as 375 µL for tube fill volume and an aspiration of only 17 µL. This makes it ideal for pediatric use or when sample volumes are limited.
Excellent product to use in hematology. The product has a minimum footprint and maximum productivity. It facilitates reduced cost of operation by enabling use of lower volumes of reagents per sample as well as minimize disposal rates. High quality clinical results are obtained. Consequently, more care is given to the patient than in laboratory operations. Highly recommended to scientists; especially those dealing with pedriatic patients.”
The Beckman Coulter DxH 520 is part of the DxH 500 series, which also includes DxH 500 and DxH 560 models, and it is used to deliver a high-quality complete blood count (CBC) and a full 5-part differential with a small sample volume.
Additionally, the analyzer is designed with features such as proprietary dynamic gating and an automated cleaning cycle. It also has a user-friendly interface with a touchscreen and handheld barcode reader, enhancing the device’s usability in clinical settings. The DxH 520 can deliver test results in 60 seconds or less, improving its efficiency and utility in a clinical environment.

User Manual
The Beckman Coulter DxH 520 hematology analyzer is used for conducting complete blood counts (CBC) and 5-part differentials in clinical laboratories. These tests are essential components of routine health examinations. They are critical in the diagnosis and monitoring of a wide range of medical conditions, including infections, anemia, and various blood disorders.
The CBC test provides important information about the types and numbers of cells in the blood, particularly red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The 5-part differential goes further to measure the percentages of different white blood cell types (neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils), which can help in understanding a patient’s immune response and in identifying conditions like bacterial or viral infections, immune disorders, and certain types of leukemia.
The DxH 520 is specifically designed for low-volume laboratories, which means it’s suitable for settings that do not process a large number of blood samples and where laboratory space and resources might be limited. Its efficient design allows for quick results with minimal sample volume, making it an effective tool for patient care in various medical settings.
