Reagent Lyse
In stock
Lyse reagents are specialized chemical solutions used in veterinary hematology analyzers to selectively destroy (lyse) red blood cells in a whole-blood sample.

Specs & features.
In clinical pathology, analyzing whole blood is challenging because red blood cells vastly outnumber white blood cells. To count WBCs accurately and measure hemoglobin (HGB), a lyse reagent is added to the blood sample.
No specifications have been listed.
- Cyanide-Free & Eco-Friendly: Modern veterinary lyses (like those formulated for devices such as the Vetscan HM5 Hematology Analyzer or HEMA-V6051) rely on surfactants rather than toxic cyanides for hemoglobin testing.
- Species-Specific Settings: Analyzers require different lysing strengths (e.g., LD Lyse vs. LH Lyse) depending on whether the animal’s red blood cells are fragile or resistant to lysis.
- Stability: Unopened reagents are typically stable for up to 24 months at room temperature (often ranging between 2°C and 30°C). Once opened, they generally remain potent for 60 to 90 days.
