Sysmex TBNK test system Reagent system for reliable lymphocyte subset analysis - now even simpler

Reliable analysis of T, B and NK cells and CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell subsets

Absolute counts directly from the analyser – no counting beads required

Streamlined workflow – from test request to validation and reporting

Automated acquisition and analysis, and optional automation of sample preparation

Flow cytometric immunophenotyping to evaluate the percentages and absolute counts of lymphocyte subsets is a well-established test that is performed in a variety of settings. It is primarily used for monitoring CD3+CD4+ T cells in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals, and also in the evaluation of other forms of immune deficiency and autoimmune diseases [1-4].

The Sysmex TBNK test system on the XF-1600 platform provides accurate counts directly from the flow cytometer, without the need for counting beads. This is made possible by the volumetric count capability of the XF-1600 based on a calibrated syringe-driven acquisition of exact sample volume for accurate white blood cell (WBC) count – technology that is inherited from Sysmex’s XN-Series haematology analysers.

The resulting absolute counts are metrologically traceable to an internationally recognised reference method for white blood cells (WBC)

Analysis results for these research parameters must not be used for diagnosis of patients
