Who we supply
GP clinics
Compact 3-part FBC machines for same-visit results — anaemia, infection and dengue platelets.
Polyclinics and specialist centres
Choosing between 3-part and 5-part as volume and case mix grow.
Hospital and private labs
5-part analysers with QC, calibration and EQA set up for accreditation.
Veterinary clinics
Species-validated analysers for dogs, cats and more.
Setting up a clinic lab
Space, power, tubes, waste and staff before the analyser arrives.
Comparing brands
The haematology analyser brands you will meet in Malaysia, and how to compare them fairly.
What a haematology analyser does
A haematology analyser counts and sizes the cells in a small sample of EDTA whole blood and reports the full blood count (FBC), also called the complete blood count (CBC). “Haematology analyser”, “hematology analyzer”, “FBC machine”, “CBC machine”, “blood cell counter” and “mesin FBC” all mean the same instrument.
Red cells
RBC count, haemoglobin (HGB), haematocrit (HCT) and the red-cell indices MCV, MCH, MCHC and RDW — the core of anaemia work-up.
White cells
Total WBC count plus a differential: three groups on a 3-part analyser, five cell types on a 5-part analyser.
Platelets
Platelet count (PLT) and indices such as MPV — essential for dengue monitoring, which is a daily reality for Malaysian clinics.

3-part vs 5-part differential
| 3-part analyser | 5-part analyser | |
|---|---|---|
| White-cell groups | Lymphocytes, mid-sized cells, granulocytes | Neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils |
| Method | Electrical impedance (cell size) | Impedance plus laser flow cytometry or cytochemistry |
| Typical parameters | About 19–21 | About 23–30+ |
| Reagents | Usually 3 (diluent, lyse, cleaner) | Usually 4–6 |
| Best for | GP clinics, small polyclinics, rural labs | Hospitals, busy labs, specialist clinics |
| Running cost | Lower | Higher per test |
How to choose an FBC machine
- Count your FBCs per day today and in two years — throughput and reagent pack sizes should match it.
- Decide whether a 3-part differential answers your clinical questions or you need eosinophils, monocytes and basophils reported separately.
- Ask for the real cost per test at 5, 10 and 20 samples a day, including the reagent used at daily start-up and shutdown.
- Check whether reagents are closed (only the maker’s) or open, and how long opened reagents last.
- Check sample volume and whether a pre-diluted capillary (finger-prick) mode is available for children.
- Ask how results reach your clinic system — LIS/HIS connection, USB export or printout.
- Ask who supplies controls, how often calibration is due and the service response time in your state.
- Ask for the MDA registration numbers of the analyser and its reagents.
Quality control from day one
Daily controls
Run commercial control blood (usually low, normal and high levels) before patient samples and record the results on a Levey-Jennings chart.
Calibration
Calibrate at installation, after major repairs and at the interval the manufacturer specifies.
External quality assessment
Join an EQA programme so your results are compared with other labs. Laboratories seeking accreditation do this under MS ISO 15189.

MDA registration for analysers and reagents
Haematology analysers and their reagents are in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical devices. Under the Medical Device Act 2012 (Act 737), a medical device must be registered with the Medical Device Authority (MDA) before it is imported, exported or placed on the Malaysian market — so ask for the registration number of the analyser and its reagents and check them on the MDA’s public register before you buy.
How we quote
- You tell us your facility type, daily FBC count, staff and location.
- We shortlist 3-part or 5-part analysers that fit, with an honest view of running costs.
- You get a written quotation listing the analyser, reagents, controls, installation, training, LIS connection and warranty separately.
- At installation the analyser is calibrated, controls are run with your staff and QC records are set up.
How to buy a haematology analyser in five steps
The order we work through with every clinic and lab so the analyser fits your volume and budget for years, not just on delivery day.
Count your FBCs
Note FBCs per day today and expected in two years, plus peak days such as dengue season.
Pick 3-part or 5-part
Decide whether you need eosinophils, monocytes and basophils reported separately.
Get cost per test
Ask each supplier for cost per reportable FBC at 5, 10 and 20 samples a day, including start-up, shutdown and controls.
Check support and registration
Confirm reagent supply and service in your state, and MDA registration for analyser and reagents.
Install, calibrate, run QC
Calibrate on site, run controls with your staff and set up QC records before the first patient.

Key terms explained
- Haematology analyser
- An automated instrument that counts and sizes blood cells and reports the full blood count.
- FBC / CBC
- Full blood count / complete blood count — the same panel of red-cell, white-cell and platelet results.
- 3-part differential
- White cells sorted by size into lymphocytes, mid-sized cells and granulocytes.
- 5-part differential
- White cells reported as neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils.
- Impedance (Coulter principle)
- Counting and sizing cells by the change in electrical resistance as each passes through a small aperture.
- Flow cytometry
- Measuring cells by laser light scatter and fluorescence as they pass a beam; used by 5-part analysers.
- HGB
- Haemoglobin concentration, the key number for anaemia.
- HCT
- Haematocrit — the share of blood volume made up of red cells; watched closely in dengue.
