Yumizen 500/550
Applications
Routine Hematology Testing: Both models are used for standard CBC tests in clinical laboratories, emergency departments, and outpatient clinics.
Infectious Diseases: The 5-part differential helps in diagnosing infections and conditions such as bacterial infections, sepsis, viral infections, and autoimmune disorders.
Pediatric and Neonatal Testing: The small sample volume requirement makes the Yumizen 500/550 ideal for pediatric and neonatal care, where blood sample sizes are often limited.
Preoperative Screening: These analyzers are also commonly used for preoperative testing to assess the patient's overall health and blood status before surgery.
Hematology and Oncology: The system helps in diagnosing and monitoring hematological disorders like anemia, leukemia, and lymphomas by providing detailed blood cell information.

Product Description
The Yumizen 500/550 series of automated hematology analyzers are high-performance, fully automated devices designed by HORIBA Medical for routine hematology testing in clinical laboratories. These analyzers provide comprehensive complete blood count (CBC) and differential blood count testing, offering reliable, rapid results with high accuracy and precision. The Yumizen 500 and Yumizen 550 models are designed to handle medium- to high-volume testing needs, delivering quick turnaround times and ease of use while maintaining the highest standards of data quality and patient care. The Yumizen 500 and Yumizen 550 are similar in their core features, with the Yumizen 550 offering slightly enhanced capabilities, making them suitable for a range of clinical environments including hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic centers.
Key Features:
-
Comprehensive Hematology Testing:
Both the Yumizen 500 and Yumizen 550 offer Complete Blood
Count (CBC) with a 5-part white blood cell (WBC)
differential, which includes:
- Red blood cells (RBC)
- White blood cells (WBC)
- Platelets (PLT)
- Hemoglobin (Hb)
- Hematocrit (Hct)
-
High Throughput:
- The Yumizen 500 can process up to 60 samples per hour, while the Yumizen 550 can handle up to 70 samples per hour, making both analyzers suitable for medium to high-volume laboratory settings.
- The turnaround time for a typical CBC with differential is approximately 60-90 seconds per sample, which improves workflow efficiency and minimizes waiting times.
-
Dual Technology for Enhanced Accuracy:
Both models use dual technologies for cell counting and
differentiation:
- Impedance for RBC, WBC, and Platelet counting.
- Optical light scattering for WBC differentiation, providing better precision and differentiation of cell types.
-
Advanced Data Management:
- The Yumizen 500/550 analyzers come with built-in data management features that allow for easy integration with Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) and Hospital Information Systems (HIS). This ensures seamless data transfer and reporting for improved laboratory efficiency.
- Test results can be stored, printed, or exported in various formats (e.g., PDF, CSV) and shared for further analysis.
-
User-Friendly Interface:
- Both models feature an intuitive touchscreen interface that makes operation easy and efficient, even for users with minimal training.
- The user-friendly interface provides quick access to results, test history, and operational status, and it helps guide users through setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
-
Low Sample Volume:
- The Yumizen 500/550 analyzers require a small sample volume, typically 20-50 µL per test, making them suitable for pediatric and neonatal testing, as well as for patients with difficult venous access.
-
Automated Quality Control and Calibration:
- Automated quality control (QC) routines ensure that the analyzer maintains high accuracy over time. The system includes built-in self-checks and calibration procedures, reducing the need for manual intervention and ensuring reliable results.
- The analyzers can be set to perform periodic QC testing automatically, ensuring optimal performance.
-
Compact Design:
- The Yumizen 500/550 models feature a compact, space-saving design, making them ideal for laboratories with limited bench space while still delivering the performance of larger, more complex analyzers.
- These analyzers are easy to integrate into busy clinical laboratories, ensuring high efficiency without compromising on quality.
-
Enhanced Reporting and Data Management:
- The Yumizen 550 offers enhanced graphical reporting for blood analysis, with color-coded results and charts that help visualize trends and cell distributions, making it easier for lab technicians and clinicians to interpret complex data quickly.
- Results can be exported, printed, or sent directly to the laboratory information system (LIS) for automated result reporting.
-
Key Differences Between Yumizen 500 and Yumizen 550:
- Throughput: The Yumizen 550 offers a slightly higher throughput (up to 70 samples per hour) compared to the Yumizen 500 (up to 60 samples per hour).
- Advanced Reporting: The Yumizen 550 offers graphical reporting capabilities that provide clearer data presentation and trends for better interpretation.
- Sample Processing Speed: The Yumizen 550 generally provides faster results per sample compared to the Yumizen 500, making it more suitable for environments with higher testing demands.
