White Blood Cells, Red Blood Cells and Platelets - WBCs, RBCs and PLTs are counted using the direct current detection method with coincidence correction. Automatic discriminators separate the cell populations based on complex algorithms. The intensity of the electronic pulse from each analyzed cell is proportional to the cell volume. The hematocrit (HCT) is directly determined based on the red cell count and volume detection of each individual RBC. Even with samples at extremely low or unusually high concentrations, the Sysmex cell counters analyze WBCs, RBCs and PLTs with uncompromised precision and accuracy.
Hemoglobin Analysis - Hemoglobin analysis is conducted using a non-cyanide method.
