Even better usability, in a compact body
Release of a multi-purpose auto cell counter

ARKRAY, Inc. (Headquarters: Kyoto City, Kamigyo Ward), a manufacturer of clinical testing devices and in vitro diagnostic reagents will launch a new automatic blood cell counter, the SPOTCHEM™ CL SB-1440, on 20 March targeted at clinics and emergency testing rooms. The device has a cap piercing function allowing you leave the sample tube caps on for measurement, which is combined with a new full color LCD touch panel for reduced infection risk to the operator and ease-of-use.

By measuring the shape and increase/ decrease of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets as part of standard blood testing, a range of disease states such as anemia, inflammation, infection and leukaemia can be detected in addition to providing an evaluation of the patients blood’s ability to coagulate. These are tests routinely included in health check ups and full physical exams and vital for understanding the health status of the patient. Recently they have started to be performed in clinics as rapid tests, so there is high demand for a compact and ease of use device.

The SPOTCHEM™ CL SB-1440 is a compact and automatic blood cell counter that achieves both multi-functionality and this ease of use. The device has a cap piercing function allowing you leave the sample tube caps on for measurement, which is combined with a new full color LCD touch panel for reduced infection risk and ease-of-use. Now you can run a total of 18 items including a 3-part differential of white blood cells allowing you to support there-and-then blood testing in the clinic or ER.

ARKRAY continues to build a full line-up of products to address the needs of the medical field.
