SP-50 Fully automated slide preparation and staining system

Fully automated and standardised slide preparation and staining.

Consistent quality of blood smears through an automated adjustment to up to 16 different sample haematocrit ranges.

Seamless integration into XN-1500, XN-3100 and XN-9100.

Shorter turnaround time thanks to shorter staining times (compared with SP-10) and track connection.

One/two-dimension bar-coded sample identification printer on the frosted area of the slide.

Micro samples operation and Raised Bottom Tubes.

The Sysmex automated slide preparation and staining system SP-50 standardises and accelerates the complete slide preparation and staining procedure of human whole blood samples. The SP-50 is equipped with the very latest technology to produce a consistent, high-quality blood smear.

With an intelligent wedge method allowing user-definable settings for sample volume, speed, and angle of the spreader blade, the SP-50 produces blood films auto-adapted to the HCT value of each blood sample. The length of the blood smear guarantees a particularly wide monolayer area for performing the blood cell differential count.

Optimisation of a high-quality blood film and staining is guaranteed using the RAL classic stains in combination with the RAL buffer and Sysmex SP-Rinse. The RAL staining dyes and buffer enable stable and reproducible staining results and have excellent long-term stability.

The SP-50 is scalable and flexible, and available in two configurations: SP-50 S (Standard) with a sample throughput of up to 30 slides per hour and the SP-50 H (High Speed) with a sample throughput of up to 75 samples per hour (excluding staining time). The two versions serve laboratories from the lower mid-market to the high-end market segment. Multiple SP-50 H systems can be installed in an XN-9100 configuration.
