The LH 1500 series automation system is designed to manage the entire hematology testing process, from preanalytical sorting to postanalytical storage. The scalable, third-generation system is the only standalone hematology automation system to offer sample tracking, sorting, automated cassette loading and unloading, and automatic repeat and reflex testing. The system manages rerun- and reflex-testing requirements without operator intervention based on programmable decision rules, such as age, gender, physician, and location.
     Configurations in the LH 1500 series include an inlet unit with 200-sample capacity, an outlet unit with 200-sample capacity, a stockyard with 1,000-tube capacity, and an LH connection unit. As many as four COULTER® LH 750 hematology analyzers or COULTER LH 755 hematology work cells (featuring integrated SlideMaker/SlideStainer modules) can be connected to the automation line.
