The Aquarius 3 is a 3-part differential hematology analyzer developed for streamlined and reliable CBC testing. It provides a throughput of up to 80 tests per hour and measures 22 hematology parameters plus six research-use-only parameters. The analyzer features a true closed system, touchscreen color display, barcode scanning, and built-in thermal printing. Its optimized workflow and controlled reagent management help simplify routine laboratory operations. The compact design makes Aquarius 3 suitable for laboratories seeking efficient hematology analysis with straightforward operation
The Diatron Aquarius 3 is a 3-part differential hematology analyzer designed for routine complete blood count (CBC) testing. It combines a compact design, touchscreen operation, automated sample identification options, and a closed reagent system to support efficient laboratory workflows.
The Aquarius 3 provides 22 hematology parameters with a 3-part white blood cell differential, including WBC, lymphocytes (LYM), MID cells and granulocytes (GRA), together with their percentage values. The system also provides six research-use-only (RUO) calculated parameters.
The analyzer has a throughput of up to 80 tests per hour, supporting routine laboratory workloads. It uses a sample volume of 25 ?L of whole blood in normal mode or 50 ?L when using pre-diluted blood.
The Aquarius 3 uses the volumetric impedance method for cell counting and light absorbance for hemoglobin measurement. The system incorporates two counting chambers with dedicated apertures for RBC/PLT and WBC measurement.
The Aquarius 3 features a true closed reagent system incorporating reagent identification and management. Diatron states that its reagents are validated before release and can provide up to 48 months of shelf life from the date of manufacture, with up to 120 days of onboard stability, subject to the manufacturer's specified conditions.
A colour LCD touchscreen with an easy-to-use, menu-driven interface provides access to analyzer functions and patient results. The system supports more than 15 languages and includes a 1D/2D barcode scanner for sample identification.
The Aquarius 3 can store up to 10,000 results. Data can be backed up using a USB mass storage device, while Ethernet bidirectional HL7 communication allows connection to a Laboratory Information System (LIS) or compatible computer system.
For convenient documentation of test results, the analyzer incorporates a built-in thermal printer module. The system also supports external printing and PDF printing to a USB flash drive according to the manufacturer's specifications.
The Aquarius 3 includes a separate quality-control database and Levey-Jennings graphs to support routine laboratory quality-control procedures.
The Diatron Aquarius 3 combines 3-part differential CBC analysis, 80 tests-per-hour throughput, touchscreen operation, barcode identification, integrated printing, quality-control functions, and LIS connectivity in a compact laboratory system. Its design focuses on straightforward operation and an optimized workflow for routine hematology testing.
MedPrix supplies Diatron hematology analyzers and professional diagnostic equipment in the UAE for laboratories, clinics, hospitals, and healthcare facilities.
