In this classification, an automated differential cell counter is a device used to identify one or more of the formed elements of the blood.

US FDA regulates Automated differential cell counter under 21 CFR 864.5220 and under FDA product code GKZ.

UNSPSC 41131502 Automated differential cell counter is a Commodity code that covers laboratory analyzers and testing equipment used in state and local public health and clinical settings. State and local governments buying under this code procure automated hematology and hemoglobin analysis systems, including compact analyzers with sample-loading accessories and associated reagents and consumables that support ongoing laboratory operations. The code serves state health departments and public health laboratories that operate regional testing infrastructure for screening, diagnostics, and quality control. Issuing bodies include state departments of public health and health and human services commissions managing centralized laboratory systems.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in California and Texas, with state health agencies replacing aging laboratory equipment and replenishing consumable supplies. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and Department of State Health Services (DSHS) issuing an IFB (HHS0017310) on May 18, 2026, for a D-10 Hemoglobin Testing System with Rack Loader and accessories for the South Texas Lab in Harlingen, with a firm fixed price contract and an initial term through August 31, 2026, and an optional one-year extension; and the State of California Department of Public Health soliciting bids (RFBIS27200117) due September 4, 2026, for public health laboratory supplies including culture media and reagents with CBE set-asides for certified small businesses, minority-owned enterprises, women-owned businesses, and disabled veteran-owned businesses. The Texas procurement notes historical spending guidance of $45,050 to $80,000 for similar goods in fiscal year 2025, though no guaranteed volume applies.
