What is the primary focus of the Siemens ADVIA 2120i?

The Siemens ADVIA 2120i primarily focuses on automated differential analysis, which involves the comprehensive assessment of blood cell types and their proportions in a sample. This instrument utilizes advanced technologies to provide accurate and reliable results for various blood components, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

The use of peroxidase staining absorbance and light scatter methodologies enhances the capability of the device to differentiate among different white blood cell types based on their unique physical and chemical properties. This allows for precise classification and counting, ultimately supporting clinical decisions based on detailed hematological analysis.

While cell volume measurement, conductivity, and light scatter are important aspects of blood analysis and may be features of the instrument, they do not represent the primary focus, which is on delivering a thorough automated differential and providing valuable insights into a patient's hematological status.
