Proven CBC Accuracy Figures 1a, 1b and 1c highlight the accuracy of the HM5 on WBC, LYM and EOS differentials in canine samples. In addition, the HM5 performed admirably on all the species tested (cat, dog, horse). Each data point is an average of duplicate HM5 runs, and a single run on an Advia instrument (pathology lab). In the plots shown, the HM5 results matched the pathology lab instruments extremely well. Some hematology analyzers only provide estimates of eosinophil counts, which prove to be relatively inaccurate. The HM5 uses a combination of impedance and cytochemical technologies to...

Reproducibility You Can Rely On The VetScan HM5 provides reproducibility in its measurements in intra-day trials, intra-instrument trials and multi-site studies done with multiple operators. Whether it’s between different users or different instruments, the HM5 Analyzer provides reproducibility you can count on. The following table shows the total variation shown across one normal control sample run 10 times over five days on one analyzer. All the CVs are extremely low — some of the lowest variability in the veterinary hematology marketplace. All of these samples were run with normal level controls....
