Description

Key Benefits

• Fast results: complete analysis of dog, cat, cow, or horse in ~60 seconds with all parameters shown on one screen :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
• Supports six preset animal types plus three customizable types—makes setting up repeat workflows easier and reduces manual counting :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
• Panic Value Recounting: when results exceed acceptable limits, the system automatically re-measures at adjusted dilution for atypical samples :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
• Fully automatic cleaning and priming: includes nozzle cleaning, clog removal, fluid path wash at startup and shutdown for maintenance-free operation :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Core Features & Specifications

• Sample Volume: 30 µL in normal/low dilution mode; approx. 10 µL (high dilution), 5 µL (higher dilution) :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
• Throughput: Approx. 60 samples/hour :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
• Reagents: Four‐component system (cyanide‑free hemolyzing reagent, diluent, two detergents) :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
• Dimensions: 230 × 450 × 428 mm (W×D×H); Weight: ~20 kg :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
• Power: MEK‑6550J: 110–127 VAC; MEK‑6550K: 220–240 VAC; < 120 VA consumption :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
• Output: Color touchscreen display with built-in thermal printer and optional barcode reader/data management software (DMS‑Lite) :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}

Recommended Use Cases

• Veterinary clinics and hospitals serving dogs, cats, cows, horses, and small mammals
• Situations requiring rapid diagnostic turnaround and minimal sample volume
• Labs needing automated workflows and high-throughput testing for varied animal types

Additional Information

• Expandable animal database supports up to nine species configuration including exotic animals like zebra, dolphin, kangaroo :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
• Automatic panic-value recount reduces risk of inaccurate readings for outlier samples :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}
• Validated for canine/feline use: precision CV for WBC <4%, HGB <3%, HCT <3%; platelet counting less accurate in feline species—flagging recommended :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}
