Running a 5-part differential at 70 samples an hour means you’re turning around routine CBCs pretty fast—enough for a mid-sized lab or hospital outpatient clinic. Teh sample volume steps from 2µl up to 70µl in 0.1µl increments, so you can dial it in for pediatric draws or geriatric patients without burning through tube.
It gives 23 parameters plus 3 histograms, which is basically the standard panel you’d expect for a 5-part system: WBC differential in five populations, RBC indices, platelet counts—nothing exotic, but it covers what most clinical workflows need. We’ve seen it handle 10,000 patient records onboard without choking, and the RS232, USB, and Ethernet interfaces make pulling data into an LIS pretty straightforward, usually.
CE certification means it meet EU medical device directives, but don’t assume it’s ISO 15189 validated out of the box—you’ll still need to run your own correlation studies if you’re going for accreditation. The operating enviroment is 15-30°C with 30-85% RH, so keep it out of a hot, humid storage closet or it’ll drift on the WBC differential (and we’ve seen that happen).
A 2-sentence paragraph: The C21 isn’t great for high-volume central labs doing 300+ samples a shift—the throughput just won’t keep up. It’s better suited as a backup analyzer or for a clinic where the load peaks around 40-50 samples per afternoon.
Power is AC 220V ±10% at 50Hz, so double-check your facility’s line voltage if you’re in a region that runs 110V or 60Hz—a step-down transformer or frequency converter might be needed, and we’ve had buyers forget that detail. Dimensions are 420×380×320mm and it weighs 18kg, so one person can lug it onto a bench but you’ll want a cart for upstairs insallation.
The C21 works with a minimum of 2μl, and you can dial it up to 70μl in 0.1μl steps. That gives you flexibility for tricky pediatric or geriatric draws where every drop counts.
It stores up to 10,000 patient records internally, so you can review past results without connecting to a PC. Just use the on-screen interface to access them anytime.
Yes, it's CE certified. We can supply the certificate and any related quality docs upon request — just ask your sales rep when placing the order.
Typically ships within 2-4 weeks after payment, and the MOQ is 1 unit. We can handle larger orders too, but single-unit purchases are no problem.
Yes, it has RS232, USB, and Ethernet ports, so you can hook it up to most LIS systems. We'll include the connection protocol details to make integration straightforward.
