Overview
The Abacus 5 is a compact, bench-top, 5-part WBC differential analyzer capable of performing 60 tests per hour. It supports both open and closed tube sampling and can be upgraded with a 100-position autoloader and a small sample volume module. The device features a large color touch screen and an intuitive user interface, making it suitable for clinical laboratories seeking reliability and advanced technology.

Accurate and Precise Results
The analyzer uses proven impedance measurement technology and patented optical laser-based technology for WBC differential. It includes clog detection, automatic system cleaning, and advanced sample aspiration flagging checks.

Field Upgradeable Options
Options include an autosampler for walk-away capability and a small sample module for reduced sample volume requirements.

User-Friendly Operation
The device features a high-resolution touch screen, efficient recording of sample and quality control information, and data upload capabilities via USB, QR code, or LIS connection.

Operator Safety
Features include cap piercing mode for various sample tube types, self-cleaning to minimize maintenance, and reduced biohazard exposure risk.

Confidence and Quality Control
The system provides simple warning messages, sample flags, a comprehensive QC software package, and manages reagent status and expiration dates.
