Description
Medonic M-Series Hematology Analyzers are 3-part differential hematology analyzers built for small and medium laboratories that need a complete blood count with a leukocyte differential from a compact bench footprint. Three sampling models cover the ways labs actually load samples: open vial aspiration, closed-tube cap piercing, and a walk-away autoloader wheel that preloads two wheels of twenty samples.
- Three sampling models – Open vial M16M, cap pierce M16C and autoloader M16S configurations under one listing
- 16 parameters – The M-Series reports the red cell, white cell, platelet and 3-part differential parameters listed in the specifications
- Shear valve aspiration – A shear valve guides aspiration for the absolute volumetric counts the maker specifies
- Built-in QC package – Comprehensive quality control software with Levey-Jennings charts and Xb moving-average monitoring
Main Description
The Medonic M-Series is the US configuration of the Medonic M16 platform, sold and supported in the United States by Clinical Diagnostic Solutions, the US subsidiary of Boule Diagnostics. The user manual instrument list ties the three US product codes directly to the three sampling models: 1400073 is the M16M open vial model, 1400074 is the M16C cap pierce model, and 1400075 is the M16S autoloader model. Each analyzer measures sixteen parameters covering red cells, white cells, platelets and a 3-part white cell differential.
Throughput is rated above 60 samples per hour in open tube mode, above 45 per hour with cap piercing, and above 43 per hour on the autoloader. Sample volume stays small: 110 microliters for open tube aspiration and 20 microliters in the micropipette adapter or prediluted modes, which matters for pediatric and capillary collections. The autoloader model preloads two sampler wheels of twenty samples each, so staff can load a batch and walk away.
Aspiration is guided by a shear valve, the mechanism the maker credits for absolute volumetric counting. A built-in comprehensive QC package tracks quality with Levey-Jennings charts and the Xb moving average, and the system stores up to 1000 sample results. A graphical color touch display runs the instrument at the bench without a separate workstation.
The closed-tube cap pierce model reduces open-sample handling for laboratories that prioritize staff safety and standardized tubes. The open vial model keeps the lowest bench cost for labs that run lower volumes or mixed sample types. Every model in this listing carries a documented 1-year manufacturer warranty in the MedPlus source data, and the analyzers run the Medonic M-Series reagent system supplied by Clinical Diagnostic Solutions.
Features and Benefits
Sampling Models
- Open vial M16M – Open tube aspiration above 60 samples per hour for flexible, lower-volume workflows
- Cap pierce M16C – Closed-tube sampling above 45 samples per hour that limits open blood handling
- Autoloader M16S – Preloads 2 x 20 samples on sampler wheels for walk-away batch runs above 43 samples per hour
Measurement and QC
- Shear valve aspiration – Guides the sample for absolute volumetric counting across all sixteen parameters
- Comprehensive QC package – Levey-Jennings charts and Xb statistics are built into the software
- Micro-volume sampling – 20 microliter capillary and prediluted modes support small-volume collections

Why Choose This Product
Small laboratories are usually choosing between a basic counter that cannot grow and a high-throughput system they cannot justify. The M-Series sits between those poles, with three sampling models that let a lab match automation to its real volume. CDS support and the CDS reagent system keep the platform supplied from one US source.
- Automation matched to volume – Open vial, cap pierce and autoloader models let the lab buy the sampling it needs today
- Walk-away batches – The autoloader model preloads forty samples, freeing staff during the run
- Small-volume friendly – 20 microliter capillary sampling supports pediatric and fingerstick collections
- One US source – Analyzers, M-Series reagents, controls and calibrators are all supplied through Clinical Diagnostic Solutions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the three models?
The 1400073 M16M aspirates from open vials, the 1400074 M16C pierces closed tube caps for reduced open-sample handling, and the 1400075 M16S adds an autoloader that preloads two wheels of twenty samples for walk-away batch runs. All three report the same sixteen parameters.
How many parameters does the M-Series report?
Sixteen parameters: RBC, WBC, HGB, HCT, MCV, RDW-CV, MCH, MCHC, PLT, MPV, plus the 3-part differential values LYM#, LYM%, MID#, MID% and GRA#, GRA%.
What sample volume does the analyzer need?
Open tube aspiration uses 110 microliters. The micropipette adapter and prediluted modes use 20 microliters, the cap piercer uses 250 microliters, and the autoloader uses 300 microliters per sample.
What warranty covers these analyzers?
The MedPlus source data documents a 1-year manufacturer warranty for each of the three M-Series models in this listing.
Which reagents do these analyzers use?
The M-Series runs the Medonic M-Series reagent system of diluent and lyse, with tri-level controls and calibrators for quality control. Those consumables are supplied by Clinical Diagnostic Solutions under its 501-series part numbers.
Who manufactures the Medonic M-Series?
The Medonic M-Series is manufactured by Boule Medical AB of Sweden. Clinical Diagnostic Solutions, Boule US subsidiary, is the FDA-registered US manufacturer and supplier of record for these US models.
