Horiba Yumizen 5000: Elevating Clinical Hematology with Precision and Efficiency

The Horiba Yumizen 5000 is a state-of-the-art, high-throughput 6-part differential hematology analyzer designed to meet the rigorous demands of medium to large-sized laboratories. Engineered for speed, accuracy, and reliability, the Yumizen 5000 empowers clinicians with comprehensive blood cell analysis, optimizing workflow and enhancing diagnostic confidence.

Leveraging Horiba's renowned expertise in analytical instrumentation, the Yumizen 5000 combines cutting-edge technology with intuitive design, providing laboratories with a robust solution for routine and specialized hematology testing.

Key Features & Technological Advantages:

1. Advanced 6-Part Differential Analysis

The Yumizen 5000 provides a comprehensive 6-part differential white blood cell count (Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, Basophils, and Immature Granulocytes (IG)), along with automated enumeration of Nucleated Red Blood Cells (NRBCs). This detailed breakdown aids in the diagnosis and monitoring of various hematological conditions, including infections, inflammations, and leukemias.

2. High Throughput & Rapid Results

Designed for busy environments, the Yumizen 5000 boasts an impressive throughput of up to 120 samples per hour with its autoloader, ensuring rapid turnaround times and efficient processing of high sample volumes. A dedicated STAT port allows for urgent samples to be run immediately without interrupting batch processing.

3. Core Measurement Technologies:

• DHSS (Double Hydrodynamic Sequential System) Technology: Horiba's unique flow cytometry method for precise and accurate WBC differential and IG enumeration. This advanced system minimizes coincidence errors and ensures accurate cell sizing and counting.
• Impedance Method: For accurate Red Blood Cell (RBC) and Platelet (PLT) counting and sizing.
• Spectrophotometry: For reliable Hemoglobin (HGB) measurement, using a cyanide-free reagent for enhanced safety.

4. Comprehensive Parameter Set

Offers a vast range of parameters for a complete hematological profile, typically including:

• CBC: WBC, RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW-CV, RDW-SD, PLT, MPV, P-LCR, PCT
• 6-Part Diff: Neu%, Lym%, Mon%, Eos%, Bas%, IG%, Neu#, Lym#, Mon#, Eos#, Bas#, IG#
• Other: NRBC%, NRBC#

5. Automated Sample Handling & Flexibility

• Autoloader with Capacity: Accommodates a significant number of tubes (e.g., 100 tubes) for unattended operation, improving laboratory efficiency.
• Closed Tube Sampling: Minimizes biohazard exposure by eliminating the need to open primary tubes.
• Small Sample Volume: Requires minimal sample volume (typically ~55 µL of whole blood), making it ideal for pediatric, geriatric, or oncology patients where sample availability may be limited.

6. User-Friendly Interface & Software

• Intuitive Touchscreen Operation: Large, high-resolution color touchscreen with an easy-to-navigate graphical interface.
• Robust Data Management: Integrated software provides comprehensive data storage, patient demographics, customizable flagging rules, and a variety of reporting options.
• LIS Connectivity: Bi-directional Laboratory Information System (LIS) interface for seamless data transfer and integration into existing laboratory workflows.

7. Low Maintenance & Reliability

• Automated Daily Maintenance: Scheduled cleaning cycles reduce manual intervention and ensure instrument longevity.
• Minimised Clogging: Advanced fluidics and self-cleaning probes help prevent blockages, ensuring continuous operation.
• Onboard Reagent Management: Monitors reagent levels and alerts users, simplifying inventory management.

8. Quality Control & Calibration

• Advanced QC Programs: Multiple levels of quality control with Levey-Jennings and XB charts for comprehensive monitoring of analytical performance.
• Automated Calibration: Ensures consistent and accurate results over time.

Benefits for Your Laboratory:

• Enhanced Diagnostic Confidence: Accurate and precise results, combined with comprehensive flagging, aid in quicker and more confident clinical decisions.
• Optimized Workflow Efficiency: High throughput, automation, and intelligent software reduce manual tasks and improve overall laboratory productivity.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Reduced need for manual microscopic reviews, efficient reagent consumption, and minimal maintenance contribute to lower operational costs.
• Improved Patient Care: Faster turnaround times for critical results support timely diagnosis and treatment initiation.
• User Simplicity: Easy-to-use interface and automated functions minimize training requirements and potential for user errors.
• Reliable Performance: Built with Horiba's commitment to quality, ensuring consistent and dependable operation.

Ideal For:

• Medium to large hospitals and medical centers
• Reference laboratories
• Large private clinical laboratories
• Specialized research laboratories requiring detailed hematological parameters
