SUMMARY

Information about the hemostasis system is clinically important because it is useful in the diagnosis of bleeding and thrombotic diseases, and in monitoring the effectiveness of therapy. The new fully automated coagulation analyzer CS-5100 ( Sysmex Corporation ) has high measurement throughput and an effective reagent cooling system, which enable short turnaround times. We compared the performance of the CS-5100 and the STA-R Evolution analyzers and found that the CS-5100 had better measurement performance and onboard stability of reagents than the STA-R Evolution. We also found that the CS-5100 was very useful for making hemostasis in emergency cases.

KEY WORDS
