Evaluation of the Hemalog D differential leucocyte counter.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main objectives of the evaluation were to (1) establish 'normal values' for the Hemalog D, (2) compare the Hemalog D with existing manual procedures, and (3) assess the machine's reliability. It proved to be a practical machine in a routine haematology laboratory. Comparison with established techniques showed systematic differences in the total white blood cell count and percentages of lymphocytes. An existing laboratory computer system was used to collect and file the data.

Human bone marrow culture in agar is a widely used technique for the study of haemopoietic progenitor cells in both normal and pathological states.' The colonies formed are heterogeneous, consisting of neutrophil, monocyte, eosinophil, and mixed neutrophil monocyte colonies. Methods for differentiating colony types have been described,1'8 but they are cumbersome, require removal of the agar fro...

Reference values for the differential leukocyte count using an automated cytochemical method (Hemalog D) were determined in 1216 healthy children aged 0-16 years. Log-normal distributions for the absolute counts of all the separate cell types and for the total leukocyte counts were determined. For the relative values, a log-normal distribution for the eosinophils and basophils was also establis...

The central 95 percentile estimates of the normal white cell types (as determined by a standard differential count) were calculated from 777 normal individuals. The results were divided into groups by age and sex and expressed both as percentages and as absolute numbers of cells.A similar survey was made using the prototype of a new automated differential counting method (Hemalog-D(TM)). The tw...

The Vickers J12 cell counter uses an optical hydraulic counting system to perform rapid automatic counts of leucocytes and erythrocytes in liquid suspension. The effect of sample storage, the use of different diluents, variation in cell dimensions and other relevant factors have been studied. A counting accuracy of +/- 1.19% for replicate erythrocyte counts and +/- 2.94% for leucocyte counts wa...
