EssentialComprehensiveAdvanced & Teaching

No.Representative systemPrimary purpose

Performs complete blood counts with a three-part white-cell differential to support screening for anemia, infection and platelet abnormalities.

Uses manual sample loading for glucose, liver and renal profiles, lipids, uric acid, proteins, routine enzymes and other clinical chemistry assays.

Automates routine clinical chemistry to reduce manual pipetting and improve efficiency in low- to medium-volume laboratories.

Measures sodium, potassium, chloride, ionized calcium and other major electrolytes to support fluid-balance and acid-base assessment.

Performs routine PT, aPTT, TT and fibrinogen testing to support preoperative screening and coagulation assessment.

Performs urine dipstick testing for protein, glucose, ketones, occult blood, leukocytes, nitrite, pH and other parameters.

Supports manual review of blood films, malaria parasites, urine sediment, stool parasites, Gram stains and abnormal automated results.

Comprehensive Laboratory Center

A broader automated laboratory supporting inpatient, emergency, surgery, critical care and major specialist services.

Best starting pointGeneral hospital or diagnostic center with broader departments and growing referral volume.

Clinical resultFaster core testing plus blood gas, immunoassay and selected extended capability.

Operating conditions, shared resources and next steps

People and operation: Plan trained laboratory staff, quality control, reagent continuity, sample handling and information support around the test menu.
Existing and shared resources: Review existing analysers, sample collection, cold storage and referral laboratories before adding new equipment.
Next development: Add higher throughput or selected specialist modules after reviewing workload and staffing.

No.Representative systemPrimary purpose

Performs complete blood counts with a five-part white-cell differential to support assessment of anemia, infection, inflammation and platelet abnormalities.

Performs routine liver, renal, glucose, lipid, protein and enzyme assays together with sodium, potassium, chloride and other electrolyte testing.

Automates routine coagulation assays and supported tests such as D-dimer to help assess bleeding, thrombosis and anticoagulant therapy.

Rapidly measures pH, pCO₂, pO₂ and major electrolytes; selected configurations also measure glucose, lactate and other parameters.

Performs immunoassays for thyroid and reproductive hormones, cardiac and inflammatory markers, tumor markers, infectious-disease serology and other supported tests.

Automates urine chemistry and formed-element sediment analysis to improve efficiency and standardization.

Supports manual review of blood films, malaria parasites, urine sediment, stool parasites, Gram stains and abnormal automated results.

PROFESSIONAL MODULES

Professional extension modules are selected according to the hospital's disease profile, sample volume, clinical needs, staffing and biosafety conditions.

HbA1c analysis

Supports diabetes diagnosis and long-term assessment of glycemic control.

ELISA testing

Uses a microplate reader and washer where local testing policy still requires batch immunoassay or infectious-disease testing by ELISA.

Clinical microbiology

Adds automated blood culture and microbial identification and antimicrobial-susceptibility analysis according to sample volume.

Advanced & Teaching Laboratory

A high-throughput, multi-specialty laboratory supporting referral care, complex disease, teaching and regional programs.

Best starting pointReferral, teaching, national or regional hospital, or a central laboratory receiving external samples.

Clinical resultHigh-throughput testing plus advanced morphology, hemoglobin, microbiology and molecular capability.

Operating conditions, shared resources and next steps

People and operation: Plan trained laboratory staff, quality control, reagent continuity, sample handling and information support around the test menu.
Existing and shared resources: Review existing analysers, sample collection, cold storage and referral laboratories before adding new equipment.
Next development: Microbiology, molecular diagnostics and teaching modules are selected according to the service plan and operating conditions.

No.Representative systemPrimary purpose

Processes complete blood counts and five-part differentials in volume, with automated loading, abnormal-result flags, reruns and STAT sample handling.

Automates blood-film preparation, staining and digital scanning, with preclassification of abnormal cells for expert morphology review.

Continuously processes high volumes of routine and extended chemistry assays, with automated loading, dilution, reruns, STAT handling and electrolyte testing.

Continuously processes high volumes of coagulation and hemostasis assays with automated loading, reruns and STAT sample handling.

Continuously processes high immunoassay volumes with continuous sample and reagent loading, STAT handling and automated reruns.

Rapidly measures pH, pCO₂, pO₂ and major electrolytes; selected configurations also measure glucose, lactate and other parameters.

Measures HbA1c by high-performance liquid chromatography to support diabetes care and long-term glycemic assessment, with the ability to flag selected hemoglobin variants.

Supports screening and characterization of sickle cell disease, thalassemia and other hemoglobin disorders.

Measures immunoglobulins, complement, inflammation-related proteins and other specific proteins supported by the platform.

Integrates urine chemistry, sediment analysis, automated loading, image review and reruns of abnormal samples.

Continuously incubates and monitors blood-culture bottles, automatically flagging positive results to support early diagnosis of bloodstream infection and sepsis.

Identifies cultured isolates and tests antimicrobial susceptibility to inform infection treatment and antimicrobial-resistance surveillance.

Rapidly identifies pure cultured colonies, shortening identification time for common bacteria and fungi.

Processes sample lysis, nucleic-acid binding, washing and elution in batches, improving consistency, efficiency and traceability before molecular testing.

Runs approved and validated qualitative or quantitative pathogen assays, including applicable tests for HIV, viral hepatitis, tuberculosis and respiratory pathogens.

Automates sample preparation, nucleic-acid extraction, amplification and result analysis within a closed cartridge from sample input to reportable result.
