3.6.2 RBC-Related Parameters
 Red Blood Cell count
RBC (10
12
/L) is the number of erythrocytes measured directly by counting the erythrocytes
passing through the aperture.
 Mean Corpuscular Volume
The analyzer calculates the mean cell volume (MCV, in fL) based on the RBC histogram.
 HCT, MCH and MCHC
The hematocrit (HCT, %), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH, pg.) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin
concentration (MCHC, g/L) are calculated as follows:
Where RBC is expressed in 10
12
/L, MCV is expressed in fL and HGB is expressed in g/L.
