PLT (Platelets)
The number of cells for determining PLT values are counted from a dilution of whole blood. PLT and
MPV are however blocked for Goat and New World Camel proles.
RBC (Red Blood Cell)
The number of cells for determining RBC values are counted from a dilution of whole blood.
RDW (Red Cell Distribution Width)
The RDW parameters, both relative (RDW%) and absolute (RDWa) are calculated from the RBC size
distribution curve and are only presented if the MCV value is displayed.
WBC (White Blood Cell)
The number of cells for determining WBC values are counted from a dilution of whole blood.
WBC Dierential: Granulocytes/Neutrophiles, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils
After the analyzing process, the instrument nds two main modes (Granulocyte Peak and
Lymphocyte Peak) within the total size distribution. By extrapolating the two main population peaks
value a third population can be mathematically calculated. This third population is classied as MON
cell area, which mainly consists of monocytes.
For the 4-di proles a fourth EOS population is detected accounting for Eosinophils that in the
3-di proles are included in the granulocyte population.
