It has been possible to modify the sampler module of the AutoAnalyzer to enable laboratoriespossessingadditional recorder and colorimeter units to analyse two sets of specimens simultaneously. Basically the device consists of a circular plastic channel of rectangular cross-section which fits on top of the normal sample plate and carries a second ring of cups (Fig. 1). The external diameter is 1...

An analytical procedure was devised which can distinguish members of the streptothricin family of antibiotics. It is based upon an analysis of the hydrolysis products of the antibiotics using a Technicon amino acid autoanalyzer under special conditions. The various fragments including the different streptolidine-amino sugar compounds were well resolved. A basic water-soluble antibiotic discover...

Introduction. The amount of immature leukocytes reflects marrow response to bacterial infection, and this may be quantified as the band or immature granulocyte (IG) count. The aim of this study was to analyze the IG count performance of the Sysmex XN-9000 hematology analyzer in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Methods. 480 peripheral blood samples from adult patients admitted to the ICU (301...

Malaria is the second most prevalent disease in Pakistan resulting in ~30,000 annual deaths. In endemic countries like Pakistan precise and timely diagnosis of malaria is imperative to overcome the associated risks of fatal outcomes. Malarial parasite was screened in 128 malaria suspected patients and 150 healthy controls, by species-specific PCR, microscopy of blood smears, hemoanalyzer Sysmex...

In the present study we investigated the potential of the Sysmex XE-2100 automated hematology analyzer as a screening device for bone marrow (BM) aspirates. We evaluated BM cellularity, white blood cell (WBC) differential count, immature granulocyte (IG) count, nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) count, granulocyte/erythroid (G/E) and myeloid/erythroid (M/E) ratio, and potential pathologyrelated sc...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a clinical syndrome in which a decreased number of circulating platelets (thrombocytopenia) manifests as a bleeding tendency, easy bruising (purpura) or extravasation of blood from capillaries into skin and mucous membranes (petechiae). The diagnosis of ITP can be made clinically on the basis of symptoms, we need to see if ITP ca...
