Sysmex America to Launch Complete Cell Image Analysis Portfolio at AACC

MUNDELEIN, Ill., July 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Sysmex America, Inc., a leading medical diagnostic instrument manufacturer and information systems developer, today announced plans to debut its expanded cell image analysis portfolio during this year's American Association of Clinical Chemistry's (AACC) Annual Conference and Clinical Lab Expo July 25 - 29 in Anaheim, California.  The CellaVision® DM1200 and DM96 systems for the mid-size to larger clinical laboratories and Medica's EasyCell® assistant for the smaller clinical laboratories will be exhibited at Sysmex's booth #4833.

The CellaVision® DM-Series locates, identifies, and pre-classifies blood cells by means of automatic microscopy and advanced image processing.  Sysmex's most recent CellaVision addition to its hematology product offering is the CellaVision® DM1200.  The DM1200 opens up new ways of handling manual differentials traditionally performed on a microscope by automatically performing a preliminary differential count on peripheral blood.  The analyzer pre-classifies the white blood cells, pre-characterizes parts of the red morphology and provides functionality for platelet estimation.  By automating the manual differential, laboratories can experience enhanced turnaround times without sacrificing quality.  Its high degree of automation allows for an escalating workload without additional headcount.  The CellaVision DM96 cell image analysis analyzer supports high-volume laboratories and has been a part of the Sysmex America hematology product offering since 2004.

The Medica EasyCell® assistant enables smaller clinical laboratories to achieve greater detection and examination of abnormal cells while providing more detailed imaging records compared to other, more traditional manual methods.  This automated system saves the clinical laboratory time and money; its unique software also improves data management in the areas of normal differentials, red blood cell morphology, and low-count samples.

Additional new products that will be displayed at the Sysmex booth include the Sysmex XT-4000i™ Automated Hematology Analyzer, Sysmex WAM™ Decision Support Software for the Clinical Laboratory and RU-10™ Reagent Unit for Commercial Labs.  Sysmex associates from the U.S., Canada and Latin America will be on hand to speak with clinical laboratory professionals about Sysmex hematology, middleware, urinalysis and cell image analysis products.
