Horiba Pentra 60 C+ Hematology Analyzer

The HORIBA ABX Pentra 60 C+ is a compact, high-efficiency hematology analyzer offering CBC with 5-part WBC differential via closed-tube sampling. Ideal for hospital labs, reference centers, and point-of-care settings, it delivers reliable results with minimal maintenance and micro-sample capability.

This benchtop system employs DHSS® (Double Hydrodynamic Sequential System) and MDSS® (Multi-Distribution Sampling System) technologies to ensure accurate impedance, cytochemistry, and optical measurements from small blood volumes. It supports up to 60 samples per hour and features intuitive PC-based data management and LIS connectivity.

Key Features

• Closed-tube sampling with minimal biohazard risk
• Micro-sample volumes: 30 µL (CBC), 53 µL (CBC+DIFF)
• DHSS® for precise 5-part WBC differentiation, including basophils and research-use atypical lymphocytes
• MDSS® ensures optimal sample-reagent mixing without compressors
• Throughput up to 60 tests/hour in closed-tube mode
