Abstract
Three modern hematology analyzers (Abbott Cell-Dyn 3000, Coulter STKS, and Sysmex NE-8000) with high throughput and 5-part differential capability were evaluated using a protocol designed by a quality team. Effective use of the team process to evaluate instrumentation empowers laboratory personnel to share in decision-making activities, improves job satisfaction, and produces the best purchasing decision. Instruments were compared using a combination of statistical analysis and written evaluations provided by team members. Tools and concepts from this study provide a comprehensive model for an effective multiinstrument evaluation.Keywords
