About
InSight AI-Cytology is an advanced veterinary haematology analyser that integrates artificial intelligence into automated microscopy for comprehensive diagnostic testing. Designed for use in veterinary laboratories and clinics, the system performs 7-part differential analysis on blood, faecal, and urine sediment samples from a broad range of species, including small mammals and reptiles. Using chamber slide-based automated microscopy with liquid staining, the analyser captures over 1,000 microscopic fields per blood sample and 1,300 fields for faecal analysis. It delivers 46 blood parameters including band and segmented neutrophils, NRBC, reticulocytes, and agglutinated platelets; 30 faecal parameters covering parasite eggs, protozoa, and digestive function markers; and 21 urine parameters including cast, crystal, and cell categories. Each test concludes with a detailed 3-page morphological colour report. The smear-free design eliminates liquid lines and the need for slide preparation, while reagents are stored at room temperature, making it a maintenance-free solution for busy practices. AI auto-counting automatically recognises and classifies cells in real time, displaying them as conventional images on a 12-inch integrated touchscreen. Remote online assistance is available directly through the analyser. Ideal for veterinary diagnostic laboratories, specialist clinics, and multi-species practices, InSight AI-Cytology offers an all-in-one solution that replaces multiple instruments, improving workflow efficiency and diagnostic accuracy.
Key Features
- 7-Part Differential Blood Analysis: Delivers 46 blood parameters including band neutrophils, NRBC, reticulocytes, large platelets, and agglutinated platelet counts with a full morphological report.
- Multi-Sample Type Testing: One device handles blood (10µl), urine sediment (500µl), and faecal (150µl) samples, each completed in 7–9 minutes with dedicated parameter panels.
- AI-Powered Auto-Counting & Morphology: Artificial intelligence automatically recognises, classifies, and counts cells across 1,000+ microscopic fields per sample, producing real-time conventional cell images.
- Smear-Free Microfluidic Technology: Chamber slide-based liquid staining eliminates the need for manual smear preparation and liquid lines, enabling a fully maintenance-free workflow.
- Broad Species Compatibility: Supports diagnostics for dogs, cats, rabbits, chinchillas, mice, rats, hamsters, ferrets, and turtles, making it suitable for general and exotic animal practices.
Use Cases
- Routine complete blood count (CBC) and differential analysis in veterinary clinics and referral hospitals.
- Urinalysis including cast, crystal, and cell classification for diagnosing urinary tract disease in companion animals.
- Faecal parasite egg detection and intestinal protozoa identification in dogs, cats, and exotic species.
- Comprehensive morphological reporting in multi-species veterinary diagnostic laboratories.
- Streamlined diagnostic workflows in exotic and small mammal practices requiring a single multi-modal analyser.
Pros
- All-in-One Diagnostic Platform: Consolidates blood, urine, and faecal analysis into a single device, reducing instrument footprint and simplifying laboratory workflows.
- Maintenance-Free Design: No liquid lines, room-temperature reagent storage, and smear-free operation minimise downtime and reduce running costs.
- Comprehensive AI Morphology Reports: Automatically generates detailed 3-page colour morphological reports per sample type, supporting high-quality clinical decision-making.
- Wide Species Coverage: Supports a broad range of companion and exotic animal species, making it versatile for both general and specialist veterinary practices.
Cons
- Significant Hardware Investment: As a specialised veterinary diagnostic instrument, the upfront capital cost may be prohibitive for smaller independent practices.
- Veterinary Use Only: The system is purpose-built for veterinary diagnostics and is not applicable to human clinical laboratory settings.
- Consumable Reagent Kits Required: Ongoing operation depends on purchasing proprietary dual-channel rapid test kits for each sample type, adding recurring costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sample types does InSight AI-Cytology support?
The analyser supports three sample types: blood (10µl), urine sediment (500µl), and faeces (150µl), each with dedicated parameter panels and morphological reporting.
Which animal species are compatible with the system?
InSight AI-Cytology is validated for dogs, cats, rabbits, chinchillas, mice, rats, hamsters, ferrets, and turtles, covering both companion and exotic small animal species.
How long does each analysis take?
Blood analysis takes 7–9 minutes, while urine and faecal analyses each take approximately 9 minutes per sample.
Does the analyser require regular maintenance or special storage conditions?
No — the system features a maintenance-free design with no liquid lines. Reagents are stored at room temperature, eliminating the need for refrigeration or daily fluid-line flushing.
What connectivity options are available for data transfer and support?
The analyser supports USB 3.0, WLAN, and network cable connections for data transfer, and includes an online remote assistance feature enabling direct technical support through the device.
