The Automatic Hematology Analyzer KCX-329 is intended to support laboratory measurement of blood cell counts and related hematological indices.
The analyzer processes compatible blood samples and generates numerical results associated with red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelets.
It also provides cell-distribution histograms that laboratory professionals can review alongside the numerical results.
The KCX-329 is designed to support routine hematology workflows by combining automated measurement, result storage, quality-control functions, and reporting capabilities.
Its multiple sampling modes and low sample-volume requirements make it useful for laboratories processing different types of blood specimens.
The analyzer's touchscreen interface, printing capabilities, and LIS support assist in managing testing and laboratory documentation.
Working Principle
The KCX-329 operates as an automatic hematology analyzer that processes blood samples using an internal analytical system.
In general, automatic hematology analyzers perform cell counting and related measurements through instrument-specific detection and analytical methods.
The instrument processes the sample, generates measurement signals, and converts the acquired data into hematological results and distribution histograms.
General Analytical Workflow
Sample Collection: A suitable blood sample is collected according to laboratory procedures.
Sample Selection: The appropriate venous, capillary, or prediluted mode is selected.
Sample Processing: The analyzer processes the sample using its reagent and measurement systems.
Cell Analysis: Hematological measurements are performed by the internal analytical system.
Parameter Calculation: The analyzer generates the supported blood cell counts and related indices.
Histogram Generation: WBC, RBC, and PLT histograms are produced.
Result Display: The measured results are presented on the touchscreen.
Quality Review: Laboratory personnel review results, flags, and applicable quality-control information.
Result Storage: Sample results and histograms are saved in the analyzer's memory.
Reporting: Results can be printed or transferred through a compatible LIS connection.
Technical note: The supplied specifications do not identify the exact cell-counting technology, hemoglobin measurement method, or internal detection mechanism. These should be verified from the manufacturer's technical documentation rather than assumed.

Reagent System
The KCX-329 specification identifies two reagents:
| Reagent | Specified Pack Size |
|---|
| Lyse | 500 mL |
| Diluent | 20 L |
The diluent is used within the analyzer's supported sample-processing system, while the lyse reagent supports the instrument's hematology analytical workflow.
Only reagents approved for the KCX-329 configuration should be used. Reagent compatibility, storage conditions, and replacement procedures should follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Quality Control and Calibration
The KCX-329 includes manual and automatic calibration functions, together with three-level quality control.
Quality control is important for monitoring whether instrument measurements remain within established laboratory performance limits.
The specified Levey–Jennings graph provides a visual method for monitoring quality-control results over time.
Calibration and quality-control procedures should be performed using suitable materials, validated limits, and the manufacturer's operating instructions.
