bloodfor biological samplescell

Overview
The CellaVision DM1200 is a digital cell morphology system for automated imaging and pre-classification of blood and body fluid smears. Combining high-speed robotics and digital microscopy, the DM1200 acquires high-quality images of cells to support hematology workflows and laboratory diagnostic routines.

Intended use
Designed for hematology laboratories of varying sizes to streamline differential counts and digital review processes.

Key features

• Automated capture of digital images from peripheral blood smears and body fluid preparations
• Loading capacity: 12 slides
• Throughput: approximately 20 slides/h (typical, depending on mode and sample)
• Creates digital scans of predefined specimen areas for review and archiving

Operational notes
Processing time depends on smear quality, WBC concentration and presence of non-WBC elements. Specifications are subject to change. Availability may vary by market.
