Drew Scientific Hemavet 950FS

This is a used Drew Scientific Hemavet 950FS multi-species hematology analyzer, a benchtop system originally engineered to run complete blood counts across a wide variety of animal species as well as human samples. The unit is being offered in working condition and is well known among veterinary diagnostic labs, research institutions, and academic facilities for its flexibility in handling different species-specific blood parameters from a single platform. Its multi-species capability is one of the main reasons this model continues to circulate actively on the used equipment market. The Hemavet 950FS uses laser-based optical detection along with impedance technology to generate a full CBC panel, including white blood cell differential, red blood cell indices, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelet counts, with species-specific software profiles that adjust reference ranges automatically. This design lets a single analyzer support mixed-species research colonies, veterinary clinics treating multiple animal types, or contract research organizations running comparative hematology studies. The analyzer's small sample volume requirement is particularly valuable when working with small research animals where blood draw volume is limited. Labs acquiring this used 950FS typically put it to work in preclinical research, toxicology studies, veterinary diagnostics, and academic teaching laboratories where a versatile, multi-species CBC instrument is needed without the expense of separate analyzers for each species. It is also a practical choice for facilities upgrading from older Hemavet models while keeping the same familiar workflow. Buyers should plan to verify calibration, replace reagents and consumables, and run their own validation studies to confirm the analyzer meets their specific species and application requirements.
