No reagent preparation and tracks reagent expiration dates

The Sysmex® CA-560 System is an automated hematology analyzer. This system has a small footprint and high performance characteristics. It is a fully automated system which features immunologic, coagulation and chromogenic measurements in true random access. This capability allows us to offer important automated D-Dimer testing in our test menu.
