Accuracy (blood cell
differentiation)
Accuracy is expressed as the coefficient of correlation to the comparison method for
analysis of at least 100 samples (at least 20 samples for NRBC) of normal blood (for
NRBC, blood in which nucleated RBCs are manifested).
NEUT% r=0.90 or more
LYMPH% r=0.90 or more
MONO% r=0.75 or more
EO% r=0.80 or more

*1: Analyze 100 fresh samples that have immature granulocytes for XE-5000 and
reference method (FCM) and manual countig method using NCCLSH-20A.

Accuracy is expressed as the regression line’s slopes and coefficient of correlation
to the Fuchs Rosenthal method as reference method, using 50 or more samples.

Accuracy is expressed as the regression line’s slopes and coefficient of correlation
to the manual count by using Cytospin as reference method, using 50 or more
samples.
