A
  1. aperture plugs
  2. bubblesin sample
  3. extraneous electrical pulses
  4. excessive lysing of RBCs
  5. improper setting of aperture current/threshold will cause either positive or negative error
35
Q

most common problem in cell counting

A

aperture plugs

36
Q

produce negative error

A

excessive lysing of RBCs

37
Q

nature of the specimen (errors)

  2. fragments of WBC cytoplasm
  3. Some abnormal RBCs
38
Q

Blood cell histograms provide

A

size distribution of the different cell populations

39
Q

These types of histograms will provide an approximate

A

number of cells on the y-axis and the cell size on the x-axis.

40
Q

RBC histogram:

shift to the right

A

RBCs LARGER than normal

41
Q

RBC histogram:

shift to the left

A

-blood transfusion

43
Q

46
Q

flags in histograms

A

H

L

47
Q

H flag

A

when a parameter value is higher than the set normal limit

48
Q

L flag

A

when a parameter value is lower than the set normal limit

49
Q

– warns of increased interference in the area left of the lymphocyte peak (approx. 35 fL)
- typically caused by sickled RBCs, nucleated RBCs, or clumped and giant platelets being counted
in the WBC aperture bath.

A

R1

50
Q

warning is caused by excessive overlap of cell populations at the mononuclear/granulocyte
boundary (approximately 160 fL), which is due to the increased presence of immature granulocytes
(i.e., bands, metamyelocytes)

A

R3

51
Q

warns of excessive overlap of cell populations at the lymphocyte/mononuclear cell boundary
(approximately 90 fL) caused by the presence of abnormal cell types, such as atypical lymphocytes,
blast, or plasma cells

A

R2

52
Q

warning is caused by the extension of the cell distribution past the upper end of the WBC threshold
(approximately 450 fL). This most commonly occurs when the granulocyte population is very high.

A

R4
