Beckman Coulter STKS

Available here is a used Beckman Coulter STKS hematology analyzer, a legacy automated CBC and differential system that served as a laboratory standard for many years in hospital and reference lab settings. The STKS was designed to process routine hematology samples with automated differential counting, giving clinicians a fuller picture of a patient's blood profile than basic CBC-only instruments. Its long production history means many labs are familiar with its operation and maintenance needs. The analyzer relies on Coulter's established impedance and volumetric measurement principles to generate red cell, white cell, and platelet data along with a differential breakdown of white cell populations. This supports diagnostic workflows ranging from general checkups to monitoring of chronic conditions and treatment response. The STKS was engineered for dependable, repeatable performance across large sample volumes, which made it a common fixture in central laboratories. This used STKS unit suits laboratories that want an economical, proven platform, whether as a primary analyzer in a lower-throughput setting or as a backup unit for redundancy. Given its age, buyers should plan for a thorough inspection, reagent system servicing, and calibration check before placing the instrument into clinical use, and should confirm consumable and parts availability with their service provider.
