How do CELL-DYN instruments differentiate red cells and platelets from one another?
A)differences in forward scatter using optical light scatter principle
B)use of a unique reagent that selectively lyses red cells while preserving platelets
C)differences in volume (fL) using electrical impedance principle
D)use of a unique reagent that selectively lyses platelets while preserving red cells

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CELL-DYN instruments use electrical impedance for counting and discriminating red cells and platelets.Pulses between 1 and 35 fL are included in the initial platelet data,whereas pulses greater than 35 fL are counted as red cells.
