SYSMEX KX-21 - Analysis Parameters

INTRODUCTION
1-4 Sysmex KX-21 Operator’s Manual -- Revised October 1998
6. ANALYSIS PARAMETERS
This instrument analyzes the following parameters using three detector blocks and two kinds
of reagents:
1) Whole WBC (white blood cell) (Analysis principle: DC detection method)
WBC count in 1 µL of whole blood
2) LYM% [W-SCR] (WBC-Small Cell Ratio)
Ratio (%) of lymphocytes (small cells) to whole WBC
3) MXD% [W-MCR] (WBC-Middle Cell Ratio)
Ratio (%) of the summation of basophils, eosinophils and monocytes (middle cells) to
whole WBC
4) NEUT% [W-LCR] (WBC-Large Cell Ratio)
Ratio (%) of neutrophils (large cells) to whole WBC
5) LYM# [W-SCC] (WBC-Small Cell Count)
Absolute count of lymphocytes (small cells) in 1 µL of whole blood
6) MXD# [W-MCC] (WBC-Middle Cell Count)
Absolute count of the basophils, eosinophils and monocytes (middle cells) in 1 µL of
whole blood
7) NEUT# [W-LCC] (WBC-Large Cell Count)
Absolute count of neutrophils (large cells) in 1 µL of whole blood
8) RBC (red blood cell) (Analysis principle: DC detection method)
RBC count in 1 µL of whole blood
9) HGB (Hemoglobin) (Analysis principle: Non-Cyanide hemoglobin analysis method)
Volume (gram) of hemoglobin in 1 dL of whole blood
10) HCT (Hematocrit value) (Analysis principle: RBC pulse height detection method)
Ratio (%) of whole RBC volume in whole blood
11) MCV (Mean RBC volume)
Mean RBC volume (fL) in whole blood, which is calculated by Hct/RBC.
12) MCH (Mean RBC hemoglobin)
Mean hemoglobin volume (pg) per RBC, which is calculated by Hgb/RBC.
13) MCHC (Mean RBC hemoglobin concentration)
Mean hemoglobin concentration (g/dL), which is calculated by Hgb/Hct.
