Sysmex Press Release

Sysmex makes top quality haematology available for all at EuroMedLab, Paris

22 June 2015, Norderstedt, Germany – The Sysmex Corporation, the global leader in haematology, unveiled its latest series of haematology analysers at the annual IFCC congress, EuroMedLab JIB in Paris today. The XN-L series follows in the footsteps of its game-changing big brother, the XN-Series. The new, smaller XN-L Series makes top quality haematology available for all. Sysmex is yet again changing the perspective in the field of haematology.

When introduced in 2011, the XN-Series set new standards in haematology. Yet not every lab needs the scope and detail provided by the Sysmex flagship. The XN-L meets the demands of smaller scale labs and those needing a top quality backup solution. Labs with perhaps a smaller budget or less detailed needs can now offer their clients the top standards for which Sysmex is world famous. Both the XN and XN-L are on show at this year’s EuroMedLab in Paris.

Sysmex is also showing solutions in its other areas of expertise, including urinalysis, Point of Care and morphology. Thanks to its exclusive distribution rights, it has another game changer on show – the ultra-flexible intelligent lab automation provided by GLP systems. Another highlight is the introduction of a new solution in haemostasis, the CA-1600 with increased results security thanks to pre-analytical checks and incorporating coagulation, chromogenic and immunoassay methodologies .

Closely related to its core technology, Sysmex purchased flow cytometry pioneers Sysmex Partec in 2013. Known especially in resource-poor settings for its essential healthcare and HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria monitoring solutions, visitors to EuroMedLab can witness the developments over the last 18 months and the great promise the acquisition holds for the future.

Sysmex can be found at booth G23 from 21-25 June.
