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.

Abacus-5
Benefits and key features
  • 60 tests/hour from a compact bench-top footprint.
  • Two sampling modes — cap piercing for closed tubes and open-tube sampling.
  • Patented optical laser-based WBC differential technology with proven impedance measurement.
  • Clog detection and prevention with automatic system cleaning.
  • Field-upgradeable: autosampler for walk-away capability, and a small sample module for reduced sample volume.
  • High-resolution touch screen; sample and QC information uploads from USB, QR code or a bi-directional LIS connection.
  • Cap piercing validated for Monovette, Vacutainer and Vacuette tube types, reducing biohazard exposure.
  • On-board QC software package with three levels of user access rights.

Suited to hospitals, laboratories and satellite clinics needing advanced technology that stays reliable and easy to use.

Measuring principle and specifications
  • Measuring principle: laser light scatter technology; impedance method for CBC; light absorbance for HGB measurement.
  • Throughput: 60 tests/hour.
  • Sample volume: 110 µl of whole blood.
  • Reporting: CBC+5 DIFF mode, 2 histograms (RBC, PLT) and 2 scattergrams (4 DIFF, BASO).
  • 26 parameters: WBC, LYM, MON, NEU, EOS, BAS, LYM%, MON%, NEU%, EOS%, BAS%, RBC, HCT, MCV, RDW-sd, RDW-cv, HGB, MCH, MCHC, PLT, PCT, MPV, PDW-sd, PDW-cv, P-LCC, P-LCR.
  • Quality control: separate QC database with Levey-Jennings graphs.
Specifically matched reagents

Reagents are matched to the analyser to deliver the highest quality results, and the system automatically manages on-board reagent status together with lot and expiration dates.

  • Environmentally friendly diluent and cleaner reagents, with cyanide-free lyse.
  • Maximum shelf life of 36 months.
  • Up to 120 days on-board stability.
  • Control material available as an external reference option; pre-dilute software option for small samples.
Frequently asked questions

What throughput can I expect?
60 tests per hour.

How much sample does a run need?
110 µl of whole blood. A small sample module is available as a field upgrade where reduced volumes are required.

Can it run closed tubes?
Yes. Cap piercing mode is validated for several tube types including Monovette, Vacutainer and Vacuette, and open-tube sampling is also supported.

How long do the reagents last?
Up to 36 months shelf life, with up to 120 days of on-board stability.

Can it connect to our LIS?
Yes — a bi-directional LIS connection is supported, alongside USB and QR code upload.

The hepatitis test most labs forget to run

HBV and HCV are routine in almost every Indian laboratory. HEV usually is not — it gets ordered only when a patient already looks like a hepatitis case. Here is why that gap matters, and what it takes to close it.

LEVELS OF LABORATORIES

In India, the laboratory services are integrated with the 3-tier public health system at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels. Besides these, there are Reference Laboratories, Research Laboratories and Specific Disease Reference Laboratories to provide services for complex and special tests. The private sector provides laboratory support at all levels of health care both in rural and urban areas. Each laboratory should identify the scope, functions and the capacity of the services offered by it and appropriate infrastructure with requisite biosafety measures should be planned. Qualified and trained staff should be employed with periodic up-gradation of their skills.
