CN-6500/3500

The latest members of the CN-Series, CN-3500 and CN-6500, are fully automated haemostasis analysers that can be teamed up with a CLEIA (chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay) unit*, forming an integrated device that runs all your routine and speciality assays out of one sample. Integrating CLEIA parameters* into your routine analyser can help you to streamline your sodium citrate sample workflow, save space, and simplify the management of your instruments – all this with an equitable investment as you do not need to purchase an additional instrument for the added measurement capability.

Regarding the availability of the products in each country, please approach your local Sysmex representative.

Features

Powerful productivity

  • The smallest footprint with the most comprehensive assay menu on a single analyser – from routine to speciality haemostasis tests (e.g., DOACs and platelet aggregation assays) available with a coagulation function unit and can be extended to CLEIA* on an integrated immune function unit.
  • Very high throughput for classical haemostasis assays and short TAT for the CLEIA method*, with a time from sample aspiration to result display of only 17 minutes on average.
  • Free up your precious bench space. CN-Series analysers are compact units that leave you enough lab space to move around in comfortably.
  • The minimum required plasma volume has been reduced by approximately 65% due to improved sample pipetting.
  • Whatever your needs, the CN-Series offers flexible configurations, including: stand-alone instruments optionally equipped with a larger sampler, or up to three analysers connected to a track system. We continue developing TLA connectivity – contact your Sysmex representative for more details.

Analytical power

  • Gives labs the confidence to obtain valid results from more samples, thanks to cutting-edge ‘multi-wavelength’ technology and sophisticated pre-analytical processing capabilities such as HIL and sample volume checks across multiple tube types.
  • Provides enhanced analytical features such as a cross-mixing function to make inhibitor testing more convenient, and clot waveform analysis (CWA) to identify atypical in vitro clot reactions.
  • CN-3500/CN-6500 can use a CLEIA measurement* principle and reagents already proven in other Sysmex analysers (HISCL series).

Operational power

  • Minimises tedious and time-consuming manual intervention related to sample and reagent handling.
  • Improves workflow operability, for example through a test count prediction for a smooth routine, and automated dilution of agonists for platelet aggregation assays.
  • Manage your reagents easily and quickly with clear reagent screens.
  • Three-button operation (start-stop-resume) provides utmost simplicity to relieve busy staff.
  • Labs can reduce the work and cost associated with maintenance thanks to the increased durability of the new type of piercer and LED light sources.
  • No extra hands-on time: no additional scheduled maintenance for the extended range of technologies on board.
  • CN-3500/CN-6500 sustains traceability by storing the result data in one centralised place.

Powerful services

  • Offer labs peace of mind, with proactive and advanced services including remote functionalities.
  • Provide proactive maintenance with CN-Series’ self-check function and maintenance task cues to the user.
  • CN-Series’ support functions (e.g., technical self-checks, interactive troubleshooting guide) on the CN-3500 and CN-6500 seamlessly include the CLEIA unit*.
