The Use of an Electronic Particle Counter (Celloscope 101) for Counting Leucocytes

Abstract

Kvarstein, B. The Use of an Electronic Particle Counter (Celloscope 101) for Counting Leucocytes. Scand. J. din. Lab. Invest. 19, 196-202 1967. A method for counting leucocytes with an electronic particle counter using a Cetrimide solution as hemolyzing diluent was examined. The electronic particle counter gives reliable results with a coefficient of variation of 4.4 per cent. The leucocyte counts can be done immediately, or at any time within 24 hours with the same result. Rise in temperature led to a slight fall in white cell counts. The procedure did not require siliconized glass tubes.
