INTRODUCTION
1-2 Sysmex KX-21 Operator’s Manual -- Revised October 1998
2. OVERVIEW OF INSTRUMENT
The KX-21 performs speedy and accurate analysis of 18 parameters in blood and detects the
abnormal samples. To assure easy sorting of abnormal samples in the laboratory, the
instrument displays abnormal analysis data with abnormal marks attached on the LCD
screen. Thus displayed analysis data allows detecting those samples which are outside the
tolerance and need further analysis and reconsideration.
The KX-21 employs three detector blocks and two kinds of reagents for blood analysis. The
WBC count is measured by the WBC detector block using the DC detection method. The
RBC count and platelets are taken by the RBC detector block, also using the DC detection
method. The HGB detector block measures the hemoglobin concentration using the non-
cyanide hemoglobin method.
