RBC x MCV /10
(HGB/RBC) x10
(HGB/HCT) x100
(HCT/ RBC) x10
False WBC# x 100/ NRBC +100
outside of reportable range
analysis error
parameters exceeded the limit of the instruments linearity
result critically high/ low
low reliability of data/ invalid results
WBC: signifies counting took longer than average| PLT: signifies fluorescent dye was used
presence of clot/ short or improper sample
immature granulocytes present
may imply hereditary spherocytosis or a cold agglutinin
0.5-2.5%
Fluorocell WPC
Diluent; rinsing agent
Diluent; used in combination with either Fluorocell RET or PLT
Determination of HGB concentration
used with fluorocell WNR to hemolyze rbcs and stain WBCS, basophils, and NRBCs
used with fluorocell WDF; hemolyzes RBCs and dyes wbc contents
stains all nucleated cells
stains leukocytes
stains reticulocytes
stains platlets
stains wbcs in order to distinguish atypical lymphs and blast cells
