The DF66X automatic hematology analyzer integrates C-reactive protein (CRP) detection function and uses advanced detection technology to provide comprehensive blood analysis results.
The DF66X utilizes triangular laser scattering and flow cytometry to count leukocyte differentiation. This technology is known for its high accuracy and resolution. It can accurately distinguish different types of white blood cells, such as lymphocytes, neutrophils, etc., when the cells pass through the flow cell, providing extremely valuable diagnostic information for clinical use.
Red blood cells (RBCs) and platelets (PLTs) are measured using impedance, a traditional but reliable method that determines the number and volume of cells by measuring the change in resistance they produce when they pass through a small hole. This method is simple and efficient, ensuring a high degree of accuracy and repeatability.
For the determination of hemoglobin (HGB), DF66X uses a cyanide-free colorimetric method. This method does not use toxic cyanide and is both safe and environmentally friendly. It quantifies the amount of hemoglobin in the blood based on the intensity of the color produced by the reaction of hemoglobin with specific chemicals, providing a stable and accurate test result.
The DF66X integrates the latex enhanced turbidity method for CRP testing, which is a sensitive and specific detection method. By measuring changes in light scattering caused by CRP binding to latex particles in a sample, the presence and extent of inflammation can be quickly and accurately assessed.
In terms of animal species adaptability, DF66X covers a variety of common and uncommon animals, including cats, dogs, pigs, horses, cows, sheep, crocodiles, tigers, lions, pandas, camels, etc. This makes it potentially useful in a wide range of applications in veterinary medicine, whether in zoos or on farms, where its excellent analytical capabilities can be used.
The functional highlight is that DF66X can provide detailed hematology parameters. It can output 25 WBC series parameters, including the number and proportion of various types of white blood cells; 8 RBC series parameters, covering key indicators such as red blood cell count, hemoglobin content, and hematocrit; 7 RET series parameters, reflecting the maturity of reticulocytes degree; and 7 PLT series parameters, providing the number of platelets and their morphological characteristics. These parameters provide clinicians with a wealth of information to help them make more accurate diagnoses and treatment plans.
Finally, the DF66X requires extremely small sample volumes (≤29uL), which is a huge advantage for precious or smaller animals. The tiny sampling volume not only reduces disturbance to the animals, but also reduces risks during the collection process.
