The SP-1000i provides a rapid, consistent way to prepare peripheral blood smears within the laboratory. The system can help fully realize productivity gains as part of an integrated Alpha or HST system.  

• Improves and standardizes smear turnaround time 
• Rapid smear preparation with first-in, first-out slide preparation and staining 
• Only aspirates blood from samples that require a smear 
• Has ability to use colored slides to help differentiate STAT from routine samples 
• Reflexive slide preparation: applies laboratory defined criteria to prepare smears 
• Low sample volume requirements: onboard micro-sample mode aspirates 60 ΜL of sample volume to prepare and stain quality smears 
• Consistently produces quality smears 
• Uses a combination of unique slide cassette and bathless staining process 
• Automatically adjusts the angle, speed and blood volume based on HCT value of sample 
• Flexible operation 
• Has ability to stain pre-made smears (e.g., body fluid, bone marrow samples) 
• Can produce multiple smears automatically
