Hematology encompasses the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases related to the blood and its components, including red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin, blood proteins, and the mechanism of coagulation. Hematological tests are crucial in diagnosing complex blood disorders, developing personalized treatment plans, and providing ongoing care and monitoring. Advances in hematology have significantly improved the understanding and management of blood diseases, leading to better patient outcomes and quality of life.
Key aspects of Hematology
- Complete Blood Count (CBC)
A fundamental hematology test that measures various components of blood, including red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets. It provides essential information about a person’s overall health and helps diagnose conditions like anemia, infection, and many other disorders.
- Immunohematology
This focuses on the study of blood groups, antigens, and antibodies related to blood transfusions. It plays a critical role in ensuring the safety and compatibility of blood transfusions, organ transplants, and in diagnosing and managing blood disorders.
- Anemia
This condition is characterized by a deficiency in red blood cells or hemoglobin, leading to reduced oxygen transport in the body.
- Leukemia
A type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, leading to the uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal white blood cells.
- Hemoglobinopathies
These are genetic disorders affecting the structure or production of hemoglobin. Examples include sickle cell disease and thalassemia.
- Infectious Diseases
Hematology also deal with infections that affect the blood, such as malaria and septicemia, ensuring accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Hematology analyzers by Diatron
3-part and 5-part differential systems
Diatron, part of the STRATEC Group, has developed several hematology products, the Aquarius 3, Abacus 380 and Abacus junior 30. This 3 part differential Family systems incorporates:
Similar Reagents set
Similar Controls and Calibrators
Over 80% of parts and modules are the same with 100% equivalent performance
Blood cell counter using impedance technology for the counting of the 3 blood formed elements: Erythrocytes, Thrombocytes and Leukocytes split into 3 sub-populations. Using photometry analyzers are also able to measure the hemoglobin. Complete set of morphologic and interpretative parameters are also measured or calculated by the analyzers such as, MCV, Ht, RDW, MPV, and more.
The Aquarius 3 is an evolution of the Abacus 380, sharing similar specifications. Usability has been highly improved with larger display screen, a new user interface, a comprehensive closed reagent system and micro sampling capability.
Diatron’s Aquila is an innovative and revolutionary 3-part differential hematology analyzer that can be used in any testing location and application where high quality CBC results are desired. Our latest technology offers the optimal testing solution for both experienced and inexperienced users and for practices which require a high-quality hematology analyzer.
The Abacus 380 is a compact, bench top, 3-part WBC differential analyzer with an, unique on the market, sample throughput of 80 tests/hour making. It is operated via a color touch screen and an easy to follow, intuitive icon user interface, making it ideal for clinical laboratories that are looking for a reliable, safe, accurate and easy to use instrument.
The Abacus 5 is a compact, bench top, 5-part WBC differential 100 tubes Auto loader can be added to the analyzer.
The Abacus 3CT is a compact, bench top, 60 test/hour, 3-part WBC differential analyzer with cap piercing for open and closed tube sampling with a new, easy-to-operate touch screen to access the new intuitive and logical user software.
