Clinical diagnostic cell morphology analyzer CellaVision DC-1

bloodautomaticautomated

Overview
The CellaVision DC-1 is a digital cell morphology system for automating blood cell differentials in low-volume hematology laboratories. The system uses high-speed robotics and digital imaging to locate and capture high-quality cell images. It supports stand-alone and networked installation and enables local and remote review of blood smears.

Key features

• Automatic capture of digital images from blood smears
• Loading capacity: 1 slide
• Throughput: up to 10 slides per hour for a complete differential (may vary*)
• Creates digital scans of predefined specimen areas for review and archiving
