Forward 3-6 ° 2-5 °

Side 6-20 ° 8-20 °

Forward angle: enhance the ability to differentiate immature cells.

Side angle: enhance the ability to differentiate eosinophil. Forward scatter
Reagent

BC-5800 uses new LEO(I) and

LEO(II) which can optimize the
reaction effect between cells
and reagent.

Wider gap between each

group, ensure more accurate
result and flag.

Digital Sheath Flow

Mindray patented technology can monitor every cell’s status while going
through the aperture, this accurately measures the volume of cells, giving a
standardized histogram shape.
Get more accurate RDW-CV and RDW-SD.
Re-exam

Decisions rules
recommended by Mindray
can help remind to re-
exam abnormal samples,
reduce post-analytical
errors and review rate.

Decision rules can also

be customized with new
input support to fit any
standard laboratory
practices.
