Introduction. The ADVIA 2120i is one of the most efficient analyzer used in hematology laboratories. In addition to the quantification of cells; it enables the detection of cytological abnormalities and alert biologist by specific alarms. Material and methods. We conducted a prospective study in the EHU Oran for 3 month. Overall, 146 blood samples were analyzed for which the analyser reported various cytological alarms and we reviewed them under the microscope as a gold standard. Results. This study allowed us to determine how the ADVIA 2120i can be helpful for routine use in screening cytological abnormalities. According to our results it turned out that the analyser is efficient for erythrocyte morphological abnormalities such as microcytosis, macrocytosis, hypochromy and anisocytosis. However, concerning leukocytes; we found a high rate of false positive cases, the specificity should be improved especially for detection of blasts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
