Horiba has announced the launch of a new veterinary diagnostics brand – Yumivet – alongside the introduction of the Yumivet VH2500 haematology analyser.

Yumivet, says the firm, combines fast, reliable diagnostics with intuitive workflows to enhance clinical decision-making across many animal species, and is simple to operate, consistently reliable, and readily adaptable across species.

The analyser has a touchscreen interface, supports multiple animal species including cats, dogs and horses and uses a set of 57 parameters, including complete blood count (CBC) with a nine-part differential, reticulocyte analysis, and dual platelet measurement methods. It enables open tube or continuous sample loading and delivers results in approximately 30 seconds per test.

Pre-configured species profiles include advanced cell differentiation and reticulocyte counts, along with automatic selection or easy switching between species. The profiles can also be customised. The analyser is also compatible with the company’s automated solutions such as a slide maker and stainer (Yumivet SPS), a track system (Yumizen T6000) and middleware (Yumizen P8000).

Horiba says product availability may vary by country.
