The COULTER AcT 5diff CP (Cap Pierce) hematology analyzer is another member of the growing Ac T 5 diff family. Not only does the AcT 5diff CP system offer 5-part differential testing for the most complete results, it improves operator safety by featuring state-of-the-art cap piercing technology for closed tube sampling.
In Addition, the COULTER AcT 5diff CP (Cap Pierce) hematology analyzer is remarkably cost effective. Laboratories that have previously relied on 2-part, 3-part or manual differential analyses can move up to efficient, 5-part differential hematology diagnostics at an affordable price.
To deliver a 5-part differential analyses, the Act 5diff CP system employs Absorbance cytochemistry and Volume (AcV) technology. Monocyte, neutrophil and eosinophil populations are identified, using the absorbance patterns produced by differential cytochemical staining of their granules versus volume. Lymphocytes remain unstained, and the basophil population is analyzed on a separate channel using volume gating and selective lysis.
Easy-to-Use, Safe Solution
Cap piercing allows quick and direct access to a closed sample tube - a feature that not only reduces sample handling and saves time, but enhances safety. Automated cap piercing also:
