As the healthcare industry evolves, laboratory facilities are under constant pressure to find new ways to improve operational efficiencies without sacrificing accuracy, turnaround time or patient care.

When it comes to advancing the hematology diagnostic environment, we have always been far ahead of the curve, designing and manufacturing an array of innovative analyzers that have raised the bar on quality, accuracy and dependability for your sized laboratory.

But better analyzers are only the beginning of the Sysmex difference.

With Sysmex as your partner, there’s a commitment to innovation that impacts all aspects of managing your laboratory – clinical, operational and financial.

GREATER ACCURACY AND EFFICIENCY THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE TESTING CHAIN

Our flagship system, the Sysmex XN-Series, allows you to couple the analysis modules with a variety of samplers and rack management components to meet current and future testing needs of laboratories of any size.

At Sysmex, we have forever changed the way hematology is performed in the modern clinical laboratory.

We were the first to bring scalable automation with integrated slidemaking/staining to the hematology lab, the first to incorporate diode lasers into the testing process, and the first to successfully utilize fluorescent flow cytometry for more accurate and sensitive counting of nucleated red blood cells.

By designing our solutions specifically around the relationship that today’s operator has with the analyzer, Sysmex solutions intuitively assist in the testing process and accomplish levels of intelligent automation and performance never believed possible.

As one of the pioneers in diagnostic hematology, we continue to invest heavily in its science, dramatically expanding the possibilities of what laboratory diagnostics are able to accomplish within the patient care continuum.

Our mission remains simple: to provide our customers with the most accurate and reliable results the first time a sample is run to eliminate manual reviews and increase the speed to diagnosis.

Today, under that pursuit, many of our customers have been able to achieve auto-validation rates as high as 90%.

N E X T G E N E R A T I O N D I A G N O S T I C S

We continue to advance the clinical efficiency of the hematology laboratory by providing more rapid, reliable information for faster treatment decisions.
