Siemens Healthineers · Model ADVIA 2120
ADVIA 2120 and ADVIA 2120i technology utilize Peroxidase stain, the gold standard for WBC differentials, therefore, delivering better agreement with your technologists’ manual results- providing higher confidence, better efficiency. True RBC morphology advances cell separation to a new level that allows for the differentiation of various disease states, including those associated with anemia. Maximize the effectiveness of costly platelet transfusions with accurate results the first time, every time - even at very low platelet levels. Two dimensional optical platelets analyze both extra-cellular and intracellular properties, ensuring that large platelets are included in your counts, and known interferences are not. Rack-based capacity for 150 samples delivers all the benefits of "walkaway" convenience. Fixed throughput of CBC/Diff at 120 samples per hour, even on leukopenic samples, provides fast results reporting to enhance the service to clinicians. Proven technology, reference methods and onboard delta checks reduce manual slide reviews. Increased linearities minimize costly, timeconsuming dilutions and repeat. Differentiates microcytic anemias with advanced RBC and reticulocyte technology. Automates hematology workflow without the need for large track-based systems, expensive stains, or reflexive testing. Delivers gold standard flow cytometry peroxidase methodology for optimum results. Simplifies maintenance through reduced fluidics, eliminated pinch valves, and automated daily cleaning using Unifluidics™ Technology.
