The XN-9100 scalable and modular automated hematology system aims to deliver decreased turnaround times while optimizing staffing efficiency. The system is designed to help laboratories maintain automatic workload balancing, with hands-free rerun/reflex testing and fully automated reflexive slide preparation. The system is configurable with a variety of instruments, including the XN-10 and XN-20 hematology analyzers. The XN-20 offers additional specific flagging of abnormal white blood cells, and the SP-50 Slidemaker/Stainer allows the laboratory to select the appropriate combination, based on workflow. The XN-9100 automation line can also be configured to include other devices such as a DI-60 Integrated Slide Processing System for digital imaging, ESR and HbA1c testing, and tube sorting.
