According to Abbott, a key facet of CELL-DYN Emerald is its compact size – weighing just 9kg – as well as its intuitive software interface that allows for easy navigation and quick results. With Abbott’s Emerald, complete blood counts results are completed in 60 seconds and reported in an easy-to-read format with histograms representing white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets.
Abbott said that CELL-DYN Emerald will expand the company’s hematology platform by offering a high performance, affordable solution for small to mid- sized clinical laboratories. This new hematology system has also many automation features designed to save laboratories’ time, allowing them to improve productivity and reduce costs, the company said.
Mike Warmuth, senior vice president of diagnostics at Abbott, said: “As hospitals and clinics try to do more, faster and in less space, Abbott’s CELL-DYN Emerald offers a compact, fast, reliable analyzer to support the hematology testing needs of many small to medium-sized hospital laboratories and clinics.”
