    Compatibility

    When choosing reagents, the first step is to confirm compatibility with the analyzer. Xinke Medical's hematology analyzer reagents are compatible with a wide range of leading brands:

  • Mindray BC series
  • Beckman series
  • Sysmex series
  • Quality Indicators

    High-quality reagents should have the following characteristics:

  • good stability and low lot-to-lot variation
  • the hemolysing agent fully lyses red blood cells
  • uniform particle distribution in the sheath fluid
  • Cost Considerations

    Without compromising quality, choosing cost-effective reagents can effectively reduce testing costs. Xinke Medical's reagent products combine guaranteed quality with more competitive prices for healthcare institutions.
