Key Features

1. Analytical Parameters

The BC-10 provides 20+ standard parameters and 3 histograms (WBC, RBC, PLT), including:

• WBC (White Blood Cell count)

• LYM#, MON#, GRA# – 3-part differential of WBC

• RBC (Red Blood Cell count)

• HGB (Hemoglobin)

• HCT (Hematocrit)

• MCV, MCH, MCHC – Red cell indices

• PLT (Platelet count)

• RDW-CV, RDW-SD – Red cell distribution width

• MPV, PDW, PCT – Platelet indices

2. Measurement System

• Principle: Electrical impedance for cell counting and non-cyanide colorimetry for hemoglobin measurement.

• Throughput: Up to 30–60 samples per hour, depending on mode.

• Sample Volume: Only 10–20 µL of whole blood needed.

• Accuracy: High precision with CV <2% for RBC and HGB.

3. Operation and Interface

• Display: 8-inch color LCD touchscreen for easy navigation.

• User Interface: Intuitive software with customizable test settings.

• Data Management: Stores up to 20,000–50,000 patient results.

• Printer: Built-in thermal printer for instant report generation.

• Connectivity: USB ports and optional LIS (Laboratory Information System) integration.

4. Reagent System

• Works with 3 reagents (diluent, lyse, and cleaner).

• Low reagent consumption, ensuring cost-effective operation.

• Automatic cleaning and flushing minimize clogging and maintenance time.

5. Physical Design

• Compact and lightweight: Ideal for small lab spaces.

• Dimensions: Approx. 390 × 320 × 400 mm.

• Weight: About 20 kg.

• Power: AC 110–240V, 50/60Hz.

• Environment: Operates efficiently at 15–30°C and ≤85% humidity.

6. Performance and Reliability

• Fast turnaround time for patient samples.

• Stable calibration and consistent performance.

• Designed with anti-clogging technology and self-check systems.

• Supports both venous and capillary samples.

Key Features and Specifications

• Optical System:
  Infinity optical system that provides clear, bright, and high-contrast images across the entire field of view.

• Eyepieces:
  Standard 10× widefield eyepieces with a field number of 20, providing a wide and comfortable viewing area.

• Observation Head:
  Binocular viewing head inclined at 30°, with an interpupillary distance adjustable from 48 mm to 75 mm. The diopter adjustment allows easy focusing for individual users.

• Objectives:
  Equipped with Plan Achromat objectives that are anti-fungal coated for longevity.

  • 4× (NA 0.10, working distance 27.8 mm)

  • 10× (NA 0.25, working distance 8.0 mm)

  • 40× (NA 0.65, working distance 0.6 mm)

  • 100× oil immersion (NA 1.25, working distance 0.13 mm)

• Stage:
  A mechanical, rackless stage with X-Y coaxial controls for smooth slide movement. The travel range is approximately 76 mm (X) × 30 mm (Y). Its rackless design increases safety and prevents snagging during use.

• Condenser:
  Abbe condenser (NA 1.25) with an adjustable iris diaphragm for proper light control and optimal image contrast.

• Illumination:
  Built-in long-life LED illumination that provides bright, uniform lighting with daylight color balance. It consumes very little power and requires minimal maintenance, ideal for continuous use in classrooms and labs.

• Focusing Mechanism:
  Coaxial coarse and fine focus knobs on both sides of the microscope. The coarse focus travel distance is about 15 mm, and the fine adjustment allows for precise focusing down to 2.5 micrometers.

• Body and Build:
  The frame is made from die-cast aluminum, ensuring rigidity and long-term durability. The optical components are treated with anti-fungal coatings, making the CX23 suitable for use in humid or tropical environments.

• Ergonomic Design:
  Compact, lightweight, and easy to handle. Includes a built-in carrying handle, a power cord storage compartment, and an anti-theft slot for secure use in shared environments.

• Weight:
  Approximately 5.9 kilograms, making it portable and easy to move between classrooms or laboratories.
