We have an XN-3000 that was installed in Feb 2013. It replaced a Sysmex XE-2100 and XT-2000i. We have had excellent experiences with all of our Sysmex analyzers, and we are very happy with the XN-3000. And prior to the XE-2100, we had been exclusively a Beckman/Coulter lab, so we were a hard sell. I don't think Sysmex will disappoint you, and you should not have a difficult transition going from Beckman to Sysmex. Also, Sysmex has provided us with outstanding customer service (both sales and service). Just no complaints from any angle for us. Hope you have the same experience in your lab.
