Veterinary hematology analyzers: cost-conscious yet expecting accurate test results?

Delivering reliable veterinary diagnostics requires both precision and cost-efficiency.

Balancing cost, accuracy, and animal care

Being committed to animal health means continuously striving for the best care solutions. Achieving this balance involves ensuring accurate results, reliable instruments, and species-optimized testing — all while maintaining cost control.

Quality results and patient safety are just as important as cost-effectiveness. When choosing a veterinary hematology analyzer, it’s crucial to evaluate the total cost of ownership (TCO) — not just the purchase price.

This includes:

  • Initial investment

  • Maintenance and service costs

  • Reagent and consumable expenses

  • Staff training and support

A clear understanding of these factors helps clinics avoid hidden costs and maintain maximum system uptime — ensuring continuity in diagnostics and animal care.

 

Exigo H400: designed for veterinary accuracy and efficiency

Specifically developed for veterinary use, the Exigo H400 Veterinary Hematology Analyzer combines cost-efficiency, accuracy, and ease of operation. It delivers a complete blood count (CBC) in just one minute, enabling fast and reliable diagnostics even in busy veterinary environments.

The analyzer supports both venous and capillary blood samples and can automatically flag pathological results for further review. Beyond the standard 3-part differential, it also provides a separate EOS (eosinophil) count — a key advantage for identifying parasite infections and allergies in companion animals.

Lower operating costs without compromising precision

The Exigo H400 delivers high precision and versatility at a lower cost compared to many other veterinary analyzers. Its streamlined design, innovative engineering, and cost-effective consumables minimize reagent waste and reduce the need for frequent service — generating significant savings for clinics and laboratories.

According to Dr. Bruno Monteiro, a veterinarian using the Exigo H400 in his practice:

“The analyzer is easy to use, practical and can be run even by an intern. It is easy to collect and change the reagents, it does not really need any maintenance. Once there is a problem, it is easy to solve for the analyzer to be up and running again. Robustness!”

Intelligent design for lasting reliability

Despite its compact and accessible design, the Exigo H400 integrates several advanced technologies typically found in larger systems:

  • Shear-valve guided sampling for consistent, precise aspiration

  • Volumetric measurement for reproducible accuracy

  • Unique lyse formulation and floating discriminator for clear differentiation

  • High-resolution histograms for detailed blood cell analysis

This intelligent combination allows the Exigo H400 to achieve laboratory-level precision while remaining affordable and easy to maintain — a true advantage for veterinary practices focused on both care quality and efficiency.
