 With Sysmex as your partner, there’s a commitment to innovation that impacts
all aspects of managing your laboratory – clinical, operational and financial.

BEYOND TECHNOLOGY
BEYOND EXPEC TATIONS
As the healthcare industry evolves, laboratory facilities are under constant pressure
to find new ways to improve operational efficiencies without sacrificing accuracy,
turnaround time or patient care.

When it comes to advancing the hematology diagnostic environment, we have

always been far ahead of the curve, designing and manufacturing an array of
innovative analyzers that have raised the bar on quality, accuracy and dependability
for your sized laboratory.

But better analyzers are only the beginning of the Sysmex difference.

THE FUTURE OF HEMATOLOGY

At Sysmex, we have forever changed the way

hematology is performed in the modern
clinical laboratory.

We were the first to bring scalable automation with

integrated slidemaking/staining to the hematology
lab, the first to incorporate diode lasers into the
testing process, and the first to successfully utilize
fluorescent flow cytometry for more accurate and
sensitive counting of nucleated red blood cells. XN-1000

By designing our solutions specifically around

the relationship that today’s operator has with
the analyzer, Sysmex solutions intuitively assist
in the testing process and accomplish levels of
intelligent automation and performance never
believed possible.

GREATER ACCURACY AND EFFICIENCY THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE TESTING CHAIN

Our flagship system, the Sysmex XN-Series, allows you to couple the analysis modules with a variety of samplers and
rack management components to meet current and future testing needs of laboratories of any size.

5
 BEYOND A BET TER BOX
It’s what makes Sysmex the smarter choice and sets our integrated diagnostics solution
apart from every other brand on the market.

Even while today’s analyzers accomplish more and more of the routine diagnostics, the
role and the needs of the hematology technologist continue to evolve and expand.

At Sysmex, we have considered every aspect of your experience and created a holistic,
intuitive ecosystem that helps improve lab operations and promote better health care
and patient management practices.

SETTING THE BAR FOR
CLINICAL EXCELLENCE
As one of the pioneers in diagnostic hematology, we continue to invest heavily in its
science, dramatically expanding the possibilities of what laboratory diagnostics are
able to accomplish within the patient care continuum.

Our mission remains simple: to provide our customers with the most accurate and
reliable results the first time a sample is run to eliminate manual reviews and increase
the speed to diagnosis.

Today, under that pursuit, many of our customers have been able to achieve
auto-validation rates as high as 90%.

TAKING LAB OPERATIONS
TO NEW HEIGHTS
At Sysmex, we know that the efficiency and reliability of the hematology laboratory
have never been more critical and more challenged.

We also understand that the key to a high efficiency lab is designing an environment
that enables you to do more with fewer resources, while not allowing technology to
interfere with the overall quality of care.

That means building an intelligent and fluid system that easily recognizes and adapts
to your clinical testing and daily workload needs regardless of lab size or work-flow
complexities – and gets valuable laboratorians out from under the microscope.
