H360 analyser: Performance, accuracy and simplicity for modern laboratories
The H360 is a fully automated 3-differentiation haematology analyser designed to meet the demands of clinical laboratories for accuracy, speed and ease of use. It analyses 22 blood parameters, including white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC), haemoglobin (HGB), haematocrit (HCT), erythrocyte indices (MCV, MCH, MCHC), platelets (PLT) and platelet indices such as P-LCR, P-LCC, PDW-CV and PDW-SD. These measurements are obtained by electrical impedance for cells and by cyanide-free colorimetry for haemoglobin.
The H360 offers three analysis modes: manual, prediluted and capillary, with a sample volume as low as 9 µL in whole blood mode. It offers a throughput of 60 tests per hour, ideal for busy environments.
Intuitive interface and advanced connectivity
The H360's user interface is based on a 10.4-inch colour touchscreen, allowing for smooth navigation and one-click analysis. It displays three histograms (WBC, RBC, PLT) for clear visualisation of results. The system can store up to 50,000 reports with graphs, facilitating patient data tracking and management.
The H360 is equipped with 4 USB ports and 1 LAN port, ensuring optimal connectivity with external devices such as a keyboard, mouse, printer and barcode reader. It is also compatible with LIS systems for seamless integration into laboratory workflows.
Reliability, simplified maintenance and reagent traceability
Designed with high-quality components, the H360 features a robust and compact construction (dimensions: 364 x 477 x 417 mm; weight: 25 kg) with an integrated status indicator. Its anti-obstruction technology reduces the risk of blockages, ensuring continuous, uninterrupted use.
Reagent management is optimised thanks to an RFID system ensuring complete traceability. Compatible reagents include Erba H360 diluent (20 L), Erba H360 lysis buffer (500 mL), ELite H Clean cleaner (50 mL), Erba H3 CON tri-level controls (Low, Normal, High – 3 mL each) and the ELite H Cal calibrator (3 mL). Open reagent stability is 7 to 14 days at 2–8°C.
