Perform the quality control of your blood products on one haematology analyser
Blood component safety is key in transfusion medicine and blood product manufacturing. Therefore, high standards during the whole process from donor qualification to quality monitoring of the products are required.
Residual cell enumeration plays a vital role in verifying product quality. Haematology analysers are often limited by their inability to accurately quantify the very low cell counts required for this application. Our innovative Blood Bank Mode overcomes these challenges, enabling confident, precise, and reproducible analysis of blood components.
XN Blood Bank Mode
Streamlined workflow, reducing TAT
No manual preparation
Consistent and standardised automated assessment of blood products to support patient safety
Enhanced laboratory efficiency with all-in-one analysis
Identify leucodepletion failures with confidence
CE IVD compliant
The Blood Bank mode offers the analysis of blood components with four different selectable profiles – two profiles for red blood cell concentrates and two profiles for platelet concentrates. . Plasma packs can be measured in the profile for platelet concentrates and residual cells.

Quality Control
The Blood Bank mode comes with a specifically designed QC mode, dedicated to the special requirements of blood products. This mode allows the application of three different control materials for the quality assessment of the Blood Bank mode.
XN Check
- Parameters RBC; HGB; HCT; PLT
XN Check BF
- Parameters WBC; For residual white blood cell monitoring!
Platelet Check
- Parameters PLT; For high level PLT monitoring!
