IDEXX inVue Dx Cellular Analyzer
Blood morphology
Automated quantification, classification, and interpretation of blood morphology
The IDEXX inVue Dx Cellular Analyzer lets you see cells like never before. Giving you greater insights into your patient’s health with detailed, objective information.
- Cell counts, images, and blood morphology work together to give you a complete picture.
- Blood morphology without glass slides allows the cells to be analyzed in their natural state with fewer limitations.
- Uniform distribution, multiple imaging planes, and fewer artifacts mean more reliable results.
- Quantified data you can trend over time, helping support confident, consistent decisions.
- Up to 20x more cellular content analyzed than traditional slide reviews, for greater diagnostic confidence.
How practices are putting it to work.
When veterinary teams talk about what’s working in their clinics, the results speak for themselves. Take a look at what veterinarians and their teams are saying about the IDEXX inVue Dx analyzer.
“Adding the inVue Dx to our in-house laboratory has consistently increased our veterinarian’s confidence in the CBC results, especially with feline platelets and immature neutrophils. It’s challenging when ProCyte One says there is something going on requiring blood morphology. Now I have inVue Dx to automate that process. It has allowed us to improve our clinical decision-making and, ultimately, our patient care.”
—Rebecca Lupole, DVM
“We have the cost of the inVue Dx incorporated automatically into every CBC run. This ensures that we can run the inVue Dx when needed without the veterinarian having to worry about any additional cost.”
—Meghan Myers, VMD
Case study
Zoe the lionhearted.
See how a comprehensive hematology assessment with ProCyte and IDEXX inVue Dx analyzers quickly confirmed Zoe’s immune-mediated hemolytic anemia and led to faster diagnosis and effective treatment.
Preparing samples
Slide-free testing helps take the guesswork out of sample prep. It helps reduce artifacts caused by smear and stain variability, so results are more comprehensive and easier to trust.
1. Add 20 μL of well-mixed EDTA whole blood to the sample tube.
2. Cap the sample tube and invert it 5–10 times (do not shake the tube).
3. Remove the cap tab and dispense 6 drops into the cartridge port.
If you’re a visual learner, you’re in luck. Watch this short video that walks through how to prepare a blood sample for analysis on the IDEXX inVue Dx Cellular Analyzer. It’s a quick, see-for-yourself way to understand the process.
Accuracy in action
The IDEXX inVue Dx Cellular Analyzer delivers results with excellent correlation to ProCyte Dx automated hematology, as well as to pathologist blood film interpretation when morphologic changes need further evaluation.
Understanding results
The IDEXX inVue Dx analyzer delivers complete hematology reports that go beyond numbers, with clear images you can share right in your practice. When pet owners see what you’re seeing, it helps them understand the diagnosis and follow-through with your recommendations.
Uses key CBC values, like RBC, HCT, and WBC, to add meaningful morphologic context and report abnormal cell percentages.
Provides a detailed 6-part white blood cell differentiation when immature or abnormal cells need closer attention.
Provides dependable platelet counts, even when platelet clumps are part of the sample.
Supports faster interpretation and more confident next-step planning with Diagnostic Considerations.
How the IDEXX inVue Dx and ProCyte analyzers work together.
The ProCyte One and ProCyte Dx hematology analyzers give you a comprehensive CBC. Add the IDEXX inVue Dx analyzer to the equation, and its automated blood morphology helps complete the picture. So you see the full story in just minutes.
Clear, quantitative RBC insights.
Get detailed RBC morphology results including poikilocytes, reported as easy-to-understand percentages and severity (mild, moderate, marked) and coupled with detailed Diagnostic Considerations.
A smarter white blood cell differential.
The IDEXX inVue Dx analyzer expands on the ProCyte 5-part WBC differential and automatically identifies and quantifies immature neutrophils to detect left shifts and confirm clinically significant inflammation.
Confidence in platelet counts, even when it’s tricky.
Platelet estimates help confirm adequacy even when in clumps and align with the industry standard values delivered by reference laboratory evaluations.
Deeper insights, better outcomes.
The IDEXX inVue Dx analyzer taps into data from the ProCyte One and ProCyte Dx analyzers, automatically incorporating RBC, HCT, and WBC values to help guide the morphological assessment.
