Beacon
Beaconic 5-Part
The Beacon Beaconic 5-Part (likely "Beaconi" variant) performs 5-part WBC differential with reticulocyte counts via flow cytometry for comprehensive blood analysis in modern hematology labs.
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): Quantitative analysis of RBC, WBC, PLT parameters including 5-part diff (Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, Basophils)
- Reticulocyte Counting: Assessment of erythropoiesis for anemia diagnosis and monitoring
- Anemia Evaluation: Hb, Hct, MCV/MCH/MCHC, RDW for microcytic/macrocytic/normocytic anemias
- Leukocyte Disorders: Absolute counts and percentages for infection, inflammation, leukemia screening
- Thrombocytopenia/Thrombocytosis: PLT count, MPV, PDW for bleeding/clotting risk assessment
- Inflammatory Markers: Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratios, EOS for allergies/parasites
- Quality Control: Daily QC with Westgard rules, Levy-Jennings charts for lab accuracy [conversation context on Beacon analyzers]
- Pediatric/Neonatal: Low sample volume mode for infants, adjusted reference ranges
Suitable for routine screening, oncology monitoring, and infectious disease management; bidirectional LIS integration.
