Beckman Coulter DxH 560 AL 5-Part Hematology Analyzer

The Beckman Coulter DxH 560 AL is a compact automated 5-part differential hematology analyzer with an integrated autoloader, designed to improve CBC and differential testing efficiency in small and medium-volume clinical laboratories. One of its major advantages over the DxH 520 is its 50-tube continuous-feed autoloader. Laboratory personnel can load samples and allow the analyzer to process them automatically, while additional tubes can be added during operation. This increases walkaway time and reduces repetitive manual sample handling. The DxH 560 AL requires only 17 µL of venous or micro-collected whole blood, making it particularly useful for difficult-to-draw patients, including pediatric, oncology and elderly patients. It processes approximately 55 closed-tube samples per hour or 60 open-tube samples per hour. It combines automated sample loading with 5-part differential analysis, onboard quality control, extensive patient-result storage, barcode capability and bidirectional LIS connectivity in a compact benchtop system.
