The Importance of 5-Part Differential Analysis

A key differentiator of the BK-6500 is its ability to perform a 5-part differential analysis. This advanced capability allows the analyzer to distinguish between all five major types of white blood cells, providing clinicians with detailed and clinically significant information:

• Comprehensive WBC Profiling: Enables detection of subtle changes in each WBC subtype, which is crucial for diagnosing infections, hematologic malignancies, autoimmune diseases, and allergic disorders.
• Enhanced Diagnostic Accuracy: Supports more precise disease differentiation and critical value monitoring, especially in oncology and immunology.
• Improved Laboratory Workflow: Reduces the need for manual review, speeds up turnaround times, and supports high-throughput testing.

Compared to traditional 3-part analyzers, the 5-part differential offers superior accuracy and clinical insight, making it the preferred choice for modern laboratories.

 

Clinical Applications and Use Cases

The BK-6500 is designed to meet the diverse needs of clinical laboratories, research institutions, and blood banks. Its common applications include:
