From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This screenshot shows a basic overview of one full blood count sample processed on the Sysmex XE-2100. It is a normal sample, shown by the word Negative on a green background.

On the left panel are numbers including red cell indices such as MCV (mean cell volume), haemoglobin and the variability of the red cell size (RDW-SD & RDW-CV). Platelet numbers are also displayed here (259 × 109 per litre). This sample wasn't processed for reticulocytes or nucleated red blood cells, so there is no data for them.

The middle panel shows the absolute number, and percentage of different white blood cells. Neutrophil granulocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophil granulocytes and basophil granulocytes. Beneath this are flags, which would give information if the numbers were unusual. For instance if neutrophils were less than 3.0 × 109/L, a flag would say neutropenic.

[edit] Graphics

The right panel has graphics that show how the machine interprets what cell is what. Each cell is represented as a coloured dot. Its position on the X and Y axes, relative to the other cells can determine what it probably is.

The bottom two graphs are of the red cell and platelet size. Here there is a normal distribution.

The DIFF graph, does a four-part diff of different types of white blood cell. Side scattered light is on the x-axis, side fluorescence is on the y-axis.

The WBC/BASO graph counts basophils and other white blood cells. Side scattered light is on the x-axis, forward scattered light on the y-axis.

The IMI channel gives information about immature cells. This measures radio frequency impedance (y-axis), and direct current impedance (x-axis).

The RET channel has not been used on this sample, but that measures forward scattered light, and side fluorescence.
