Sysmex America Begins Distribution of CellaVision® DM1200
Cell Image Analysis Instrument to Help Laboratories Save Time and Money
MUNDELEIN, Ill., July 20 -- Sysmex, a global leader in medical diagnostic testing equipment and information systems technology, today announced the addition of the CellaVision® DM1200 cell image analysis analyzer to the Sysmex hematology product offering. The DM1200 enables Sysmex America to meet the growing demand for automated cell image analysis, which improves both the quality of results and the productivity of laboratories performing mid-volume testing.
The CellaVision® DM1200 opens up new ways of handling manual differentials traditionally performed on a microscope by automatically performing a preliminary differential count on peripheral blood. The analyzer pre-classifies the white blood cells, pre-characterizes parts of the red morphology and provides functionality for platelet estimation. By automating the manual differential, laboratories can experience enhanced turnaround times without sacrificing quality. Its high degree of automation allows for an escalating workload without increasing labor.
"The CellaVision DM1200, which locates, identifies, and pre-classifies blood cells by means of automatic microscopy and advanced image processing, greatly enhances Sysmex America's hematology product offering. We trust this addition to our hematology portfolio will serve our customers well as they continue to navigate through a challenging health care environment," said John Kershaw, President & CEO, Sysmex America, Inc.
Sysmex America and CellaVision first initiated their working relationship in 2004. Today, Sysmex Corporation and CellaVision have an extended and broadened working relationship via the completion of a recent global distribution agreement. The agreement gives Sysmex a non-exclusive right to sell CellaVision's products in hematology laboratories worldwide. As of April 1, 2010, the non-exclusive agreement comprises all international markets but Canada.
