Beckman Coulter LH 500

Offered here is a used Beckman Coulter LH 500 hematology analyzer, a mid-volume automated system built for hospital and reference laboratories that need reliable CBC and five-part differential results with efficient sample handling. The LH 500 was designed as part of the broader LH series, bringing streamlined workflow and consistent reporting to laboratories processing a steady daily volume of hematology samples. It was commonly used as a standalone analyzer or as a complement to higher-throughput systems in larger facilities. The analyzer uses Coulter's VCS technology to evaluate cell volume, conductivity, and light scatter properties, enabling detailed classification of white blood cell populations alongside standard red cell, platelet, and hemoglobin measurements. This supports clinicians in identifying abnormal cell counts and differential shifts associated with infection, inflammation, and various hematologic disorders. The LH 500's automated sampling and reporting help laboratories maintain consistent turnaround times even during busy periods. This pre-owned LH 500 is a good option for laboratories seeking dependable mid-tier throughput without the cost of a newer flagship system, including facilities adding capacity, establishing redundancy, or transitioning gradually to newer platforms. Buyers should plan for a full service inspection, calibration verification, and reagent system check upon installation to confirm the analyzer meets expected performance before entering routine clinical use.
