Abacus-5
The Abacus 5 system is a compact, bench top, 60 test/hour, 5-part laser WBC differential analyzer with two sampling modes: a cap piercing mode for closed tube sampling and another for open tubes. The Abacus 5 can be enhanced to meet your changing needs by adding an autosampler and / or a small sample volume module.
