Beckman Coulter to Distribute CellaVision Products in the U.S.
New Offerings Compliment UniCel DxH 800 Coulter Cellular Analysis System

Beckman Coulter has obtained full distribution rights of CellaVision digital morphology products in the U.S. Under an agreement with CellaVision AB, Beckman Coulter—the leader in hematology and clinical diagnostic systems—will distribute the full line of CellaVision products, including analyzers for automation of the manual blood differential, an optional application for body fluid analysis, software applications for remote access and networking, and software for proficiency testing and education.

"Our agreement with CellaVision will make digital morphology more available to medium and large labs that perhaps didn't have access to this technology before," said Cynthia Collins, group vice president, Cellular Analysis at Beckman Coulter. "And, of course, digital morphology is a terrific enhancement to our award winning automated hematology solutions, including the UniCel DxH 800 Coulter Cellular Analysis system."

Trends in North America indicate that in addition to large laboratories, medium-sized laboratories also have the need to automate the analytical process in order to improve efficiencies and quality of the manual differential review.
