2020 Abbott Cell-Dyn Ruby Hematology Analyzer

Key Technology & Features:

• Uses MAPSS (Multi-Angle Polarized Scatter Separation) — a laser-based, multi-angle optical scatter technology to analyze blood cells.
• This technology enables detailed separation and classification of WBCs, RBCs, and platelets without the need for multiple reagent-based tests, which improves first-pass efficiency and reduces manual review.
• For platelets, the Ruby uses a dual-angle optical platelet count, which means it can size and count platelets accurately without needing extra reagents or reflex testing.
• For reticulocytes, it uses a supravital staining method rather than a separate, reagent-heavy process.
• The instrument comes with intuitive software, a touch-screen interface, and features like rules-based result annotation, on-board QC, and full data management
