i3LAB: A 3-diff hematology analyzer with closed vial sampling designed for labs
The i3LAB is a smart, 3-part differential hematology analyzer developed for lab use with closed vial sampling.
The i3LAB is a smart, 3-part differential hematology analyzer with closed vial sampling with an innovative and handy design. The i3LAB provides a 22-parameter complete blood cell count report that includes WBC, RBC, and PLT histograms, using the volumetric impedance method for the detection of red blood cells (RBC) and white blood cells (WBC) and photometric method for the measurement of hemoglobin (HGB) levels.
The i3LAB was primarily developed to be used in laboratory environments as it provides an 80 tests/hour throughput and is compatible with the Norma Autoloader to offer effective support in the everyday work of the laboratory personnel. It does not only have a compact size, low reagent consumption – using only two reagents – and small sampling volume processing, but it also doesn’t require any weekly maintenance action from the user.
