1.3.3.1 Laser Flow Cytometry

At the effect of a certain amount of reagent, the blood sample is pipetted into flow cell which is full of diluent. Under the package of sheath which is formed by diluent, the single cell flow goes through the center of flow cell. As shown in Figure 1-3-7:
Figure 1-3-7 Flow Cell Blood cells go through the laser area after twice acceleration. Under the effect of laser beam, the scattered light is related to cell size, refractive index of cell membrane and cell internal structure. Low-angle forward scattered light reflects the size of cell. High-angle forward scattered light reflects the internal fine structure and particulate matter. Photodiode receive the scattered light signals and translate them into electrical pulses, according to the electrical pulses, twodimension map(scattergram) of cell size and cell internal information can be obtained. The abscissa reflects the cell's internal structure. The vertical axis reflects the cell size, as shown in Figure 1-3-8:

1.3.3.2 WBC Number/Basophil ---- Impedance Method

WBC number and basophils are counted through impedance method. The aspirated sample is dispensed into test unit after diluted by quantitative conducting solution. The testing unit has a test aperture. A pair of positive and negative electrodes exist beside the aperture for connecting the constant current power supply. As the cells have the characteristic of a poor conductor, when the cell goes through the aperture under constant negative pressure, the DC resistance between the electrodes will change, resulting in the formation of a pulse signal which is proportional to the cell size. A series of electrical pulse is produced when the cell continuously go through the aperture. The number of pulses is equivalent to the cell number through the aperture. The pulse amplitude is proportional to the cell size.

Use clean EDTA-K2 anti freezing vacuum blood collecting tube, silicified glass/plastic tube
and 20uL silica glass capillary.
The sample that needs WBC differential or platelet counting should be stored at room
temperature. It should be used within 8 hour after collection.
If 5 part of PLT, MCV, or WBC is not needed, the sample can be stored at 2 - 8 in
refrigerator for 24 hours. The stored sample should be used after placing at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. After a period of time of still placing, the sample should be mixed again before use.
