Hematology analyzer

Swelab Alfa Plus

Swelab™

Still counting. Since 1956.

Building on a proud tradition, Swelab Alfa Plus hematology analyzer is developed for reliability with maximum ease of operation. Highly accurate results are backed up by built-in quality monitoring and low instrument maintenance.

Boule has obtained IVDR certification for Swelab Alfa Plus hematology instruments, class B. Boule is now a member of a globally small and honorable group of med-tech companies that have succeeded with this at such an early stage.

Complete blood count from one drop of blood

Micro-pipette adapter (MPA) provides a blood status from a finger-stick capillary sample. Results can be viewed in a minute. No preparation, no pre-dilution and no vacuum tubes are required.

Accurate results start with precise collection

The sampling technique is critical for accuracy of the result. Swelab Alfa Plus therefore comes equipped with a high-precision shear valve. Not only is the shear valve extremely precise to deliver accurate results, it it also designed to minimize maintenance needs to significantly reduce maintenance costs

Gets on with the job

As the top-of-the-range model, Swelab Alfa Plus Sampler provides automation well-suited for many small to medium-sized hospitals. Just pre-load up to 2 × 20 samples and let it do the work!

“I have been using Swelab Alfa Plus for the last 10+years. During all these years the precision has been good and the result has passed all external quality control audits.”

Dr. Rahmawati 700
Our favourite features are the MPA and the mixer, the MPA because this is very helpful when sampling from babies and the mixer to keep the venous samples homogenous before analysis.

Dr. Bonilla uses a Swelab Alfa Plus analyzer equipped with space-saving automation wheels to cope with high workloads, and with the MPA inlet that reports a full CBC from a finger-stick sample in about one minute.
…a highly reliable instrument, with an autoloader for automated handling of a significant number of samples and the capillary blood functionality for urgent cases that require immediate count and where venous blood sample is not necessarily available

… Capillary sampling is less fearful for children, feeling more comfortable when holding them by the finger rather than grabbing their arm. Therefore, the MPA functionality is the most important feature of Swelab Alfa Plus…

I like the Swelab Alfa Plus because it is easy and simple to use. Using the barcode reader, we enter control values very quickly and we avoid the risks entering them manually. The system makes us feel very confident and we strongly recommend it!

We have been using the Swelab Alfa Plus for seven years in our hospital, and we feel that the system is highly reliable for all parameters of hematology.
