Overview

The iVet-5 is Norma’s hematology analyzer for veterinary use. This smart, laser-based 5-part differential hematology analyzer with open vial sampling mode provides precise complete blood count results for 17 animal species: dog, cat, horse, foal, camel, guinea pig, cattle, swine, goat, sheep, donkey, New World camelids, rabbit, rat, mouse, ferret, and thoroughbred horse.

These animal profiles are continuously expanding, and Norma will provide more measurement options in the future.

The iVet-5 inherited the Icon hematology family’s all excellent features:

compact size – A4 sheet paper footprint
easy-to-use – touch screen with simple navigation
extremely low sample volume processing
small reagent consumption – 75% less than any other analyzer’s consumption on the market
low user maintenance requirements – no weekly maintenance actions

These features allow this unique veterinary analyzer to be used at the measurement site and open new diagnostic options for veterinary clinics.
