CellaVision DC-1 is the newest member of the CellaVision product family. It’s a smaller analyzer that has been custom-designed to enable low-volume hematology labs to implement CellaVisions digital methodology for performing blood cell differential.
Mode of operation
To perform a manual differential, a thin film of blood is wedged on a barcoded glass slide and stained according to the May-Grünwald Giemsa or Wright protocol. During slide processing the analyzer automatically locates, digitally captures and pre-classifies cells, after which the operator verifies and/ or modifies the suggested classification if necessary. The operator may also introduce additional observations and comments when needed.
