  • Title: Method for the automation of equine differential leucocyte counts.
    Author: Allen BV.
    Journal: Equine Vet J; 1981 Apr; 13(2):115-8. PubMed ID: 7250102.
    Abstract:
    A technique for automating equine differential leucocyte counts by analysis of volume distribution curves using the Coulter Channelyzer has been developed and evaluated. A comparison between the results obtained by this method and standard microscopic techniques showed good agreement in most cases. Blood samples can be analysed for both differential and total leucocyte counts at a rate of 25/h. For each sample an average 16,000 leucocytes are classified by the Channelyzer. The method of volume analysis is suitable for the precise counting of polymorphonuclear neutrophils, lymphocytes and eosinophils but blood films should still be screened to recognise any increase in monocytes or the presence of immature cells.
