We have a Sysmex XS-1000i in the Emergency department as they wanted a FBC analyser with a five part diff. A lot of the POCT FBC analysers only give a three part diff and I find that oncology departments will want five part diffs normally (with my haematology hat on). You will have to pay more for analysers with five part diffs though and have to justify the cost. Beckman Coulter also have a small analyser which we had which also did a five part diff, the Act5 Diff analyser. I don't know if they still offer it...

We have a clinic at a site over an hour away from our hospital which wishes to purchase some equipment to run WCC on patients attending for chemotherapy. Does anybody use such a piece of kit in similar circumstances? Is there anything POCT based rather than an analyser more suited for a laboratory environment? (I'm not a haematologist!)
