Symex CA-500

The Symex CA-500 is a used automated coagulation analyzer that measures clotting parameters such as prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, and fibrinogen levels, supporting clinicians in diagnosing and monitoring bleeding and clotting disorders. While closely related to general hematology testing, it is a dedicated coagulation platform rather than a CBC counter, and it plays a key role alongside hematology analyzers in a complete blood diagnostics workflow. Labs commonly pair it with a standard hematology analyzer to cover both cell counting and coagulation testing needs. The CA-500 uses automated optical or mechanical clot detection methods to deliver consistent, reproducible coagulation results with minimal manual sample handling. Its throughput and menu of coagulation assays make it suitable for hospital labs, outpatient clinics, and reference laboratories that need reliable turnaround on anticoagulant monitoring, pre-surgical screening, and bleeding disorder workups. The instrument's straightforward operation and onboard result reporting help keep coagulation testing efficient even in labs without dedicated coagulation specialists. This unit is sold used and in working condition based on pre-listing checks, and buyers should plan for standard reagent setup, calibration, and quality control verification upon installation, as is typical when bringing any pre-owned coagulation analyzer into active service. It offers a practical, budget-conscious way for a laboratory to add or replace coagulation testing capability.
