A. Electronic cell counting. Because of manufacturer diversity and the complexity

performance characteristics of cell counters that exists among laboratories, individual

 

 

 

 

 Multiparameter cell counters provide 10 or more common parameters, including

count of red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets with a totally

automatic diluting system. The most common parameters provided by current cell

counters include:

a. RBC count

b. WBC count

c. Hemoglobin (Hb)

d. Hematocrit (HCT)

e. Mean corpuscular volume (MCV)

f. Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH)

g. Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC)

h. Platelet count
