COULTER®
Gen-S Hematology
Analyzer
The Beckman-Coulter
GEN-S, a new generation hematology analyzer capable of providing a
complete blood count, a five-part differential leukocyte count, and
a reticulocyte count.
The Gen-S provides
automated reticulocyte counts from closed vial sample aspiration to
result transmission, and permits you to enjoy significant
productivity gains. Compared to manual methods, each automated count
saves up to 10 minutes of valuable operator time.
In addition, automated counts give you the assurance of greater
accuracy.
Beckman Gen-S with
slidemaker
The Gen-S
represents a new generation fully automated hematology analyzer that
can provide the laboratory with up to 34 blood count parameters: a
complete blood count (CBC), a five-part differential leukocyte count
(DLC), a complete reticulocyte count, and an automated CD4/CD8
count. Moreover, when abnormal leukocytes are present, the system
generates different flags.
System Description
The Gen-S analyzer
uses the Coulter Volume, Conductivity, Scatter (VCS) technology to
probe hydrodynamically focused cells. Volume measurement is
performed using the Coulter principle of electrical impedance. The
high frequency conductivity provides information about cell size,
internal structure, and density. A helium-neon laser and a
multiple-angle light scatter provide information about a cell's
internal structure, granularity, and surface morphology. VCS
technology has proven effective on the Coulter STKS and MAXM
analyzers. The GEN-S refines this technology through the use of the
IntelliKinetic (Beckman trademark technology) application. This
hardware and software system intelligently manages variations in the
ambient laboratory temperature through automatic adjustments of
reagent reaction temperature, exposure time, and delivery volumes.
Enhancement in
instrument electronics works with the IntelliKinetic application to
provide better data signals for the system algorithm to analyze.
Collected data are analyzed by Coulter AccuGate software (version
EASE 2, (Beckman trademark technology)), which contains adaptive
statistical tools that assist in delineating overlapping populations
including new suspect flags
(e.g., Ly blast for Lymphoblast suspect) and additional "research
use only" parameters. DLC data can be presented in a
multidimensional format.
