CellaVision (Lund, Sweden) is attending AACC 2023 where the company is showcasing some of its latest products, including its new DIFF-Line complete workflow solution for low-volume hematology laboratories. Advancing into the area of digital bone marrow analysis, CellaVision is also sharing a preview of its upcoming bone marrow application.

DIFF-Line by CellaVision is a complete workflow for smearing, staining, and analyzing peripheral blood smears in hematology labs that handle a smaller amount of daily blood samples. DIFF-Line consists of three instruments for smearing, staining, and analyzing peripheral blood smears: CellaVision DC-1, RAL SmearBox, and RAL StainBox. CellaVision DC-1 is a single-slide analyzer that automates and digitizes the process of analyzing peripheral blood smears. The analyzer has an automated microscope, a high-quality digital camera, and an advanced computer system that uses artificial intelligence to locate, digitally capture, and pre-classify cells from stained blood smears. The pre-classified cells are presented on a computer screen for review and verification. The CellaVision DC-1 was launched in 2019 and received FDA clearance in October 2020.

RAL SmearBox produces high-quality peripheral blood smears. The automated instrument uses a patented consumable to produce smears directly from a closed whole sample tube. CellaVision introduced the RAL SmearBox to the market in 2022. RAL StainBox stains blood smears consistently and by laboratory guidelines. The semi-automated instrument utilizes the bath method and guides the laboratory through a step-by-step staining process. Improved staining protocols contribute to ease of use and optimized DC-1 performance. The RAL StainBox uses MCDh methanol-free stains to ensure high stain quality and reproducibility while reducing staff exposure to toxic chemicals.
