The CELL-DYN Emerald 22 AL is a compact hematology analyzer designed to optimize workflow in space-constrained laboratories. This automated system performs complete blood count with 5-part differential using optical technology. It offers significant walkaway capability with a 50-tube load capacity and requires only two reagents plus onboard cleaner. The system features touch-free scheduled daily maintenance, startup, and shutdown to reduce hands-on time. Smart safety features include a specialized open tube sample device and optional tube bypass for specimens with unreadable barcodes. Barcoded reagents help decrease manual entry errors and support compliance, making it an efficient solution for small to mid-size clinical laboratory settings.
