Cat. No.	Item
ICH001	Ichor Hematology Analyzer, 110/220V

The ICHOR hematology instrument is a self-contained, compact, easy-to-use, automated impedance cell counter. When used with Plateletworks reagents, the ICHOR system provides a hematology profile of a standard CBC with platelet count plus platelet aggregation or inhibition within five minutes. The test is simple. A fresh whole blood sample is added to both an EDTA baseline and a Collagen, ADP or Arachidonic Acid agonist tube. All tubes are run on the Ichor hematology analyzer. CBC, including platelet count, is available within minutes. Platelet aggregation is then calculated from results.

ICHOR / Plateletworks Advantages

• CBC & Platelet Aggregation at Point of Care - provides immediate platelet count and aggregation, WBC, RBC, hemoglobin and hematocrit, RBC indices (MCV, MCH, MCHC), RBC, MPV and platelet histograms
• Simple, rapid procedure - delivers critical hematology parameters and platelet aggregation in five minutes at the point of patient care
• No special sample preparation - performed on whole blood using preloaded baseline and agonist tubes
• Traditional cell counting principle - uses the laboratory standard of electronic impedance variation generated by the actual passage and counting of each cell type through the instrument’s microaperture
• Traditional laboratory agonists - Plateletworks uses collagen, ADP and arachidonic acid, the same agonists used to perform platelet aggregation in the traditional laboratory setting
• Automatic, closed tube sampling - optimizes safety and ease of use for any operator
• Self-contained reagent pack and waste container - eliminates cumbersome external tubing sets, reagent containers and waste reservoirs, making technology suitable for point of care use
• QC - easy to run in minutes with results stored for analysis and display on SmartCard (no manual charting)
