The i3LAB is an intelligent 3-part differential hematology analyzer designed for laboratory use with closed vial sampling.
Overview
The i3LAB is an intelligent hematology analyzer with 3-part differentiation, closed vial sampling, and an innovative, practical design. The i3LAB provides a comprehensive blood count report with 22 parameters, including histograms for white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC), and platelets (PLT), using volumetric impedance method for red and white blood cell detection, and photometric method for hemoglobin (HGB) level measurement.
The i3LAB is primarily developed for laboratory environments, offering a throughput of 80 tests per hour and compatibility with the Norma Autoloader, providing effective support in the daily work of laboratory staff. It features a compact size, low reagent consumption—using only two reagents—and small sample volume processing, with no weekly maintenance required by the user.
