Comparison of the ProCyte Dx analyzer with the ADVIA 2120 and the manual differential for validation of equine and bovine hemograms

Hemostatic variables, plasma lactate concentration, and inflammatory biomarkers in dogs with gastric dilatation-volvulus

“…Specimens taken during emergency duty were assessed with the laser based in-house hematology analyzer ProCyte Dx (IDEXX, Laboratories, Westbrook, ME, USA). An excellent correlation between the PLT count obtained with the ADVIA 2120 analyzer and the ProCyte Dx analyzer has been demonstrated before (24).…”

Hematology reference intervals for adult cows in France using the Sysmex XT-2000iV analyzer

“…RIs in adult cattle appear to have changed between 1957 and 2006, with increased neutrophil counts but decreased hemoglobin concentration, and lymphocyte, monocyte, and eosinophil counts. 10 The conclusion of a 2010 study was that the RIs available in many textbooks are no longer relevant. 9 RIs should be established according to international recommendations.…”

“…It is based on similar principles to a laser in-house hematology analyzer previously validated for cattle hemograms. 10 Because previous bovine hematology RIs could potentially lead to clinical misinterpretations, we established hematology RIs for adult dairy and beef cows in France consistent with recommendations of the American Society for Veterinary Clinical Pathology (ASVCP). We also used results obtained to compare manual and automatized analyzer WBC differentials.…”

Trapping cells in paper for white blood cell count

“…Automated white blood cell count with hematology analyzers now prevails (Buttarello and Plebani, 2008). Hematology analyzers count white blood cells by identifying their unique characteristics in terms of scattering profile (Terstappen et al, 1988), fluorescence-labeled surface markers (Goldmann et al, 2013) or electrical impedance (Graham, 2003). Although automated white blood cell count with hematology analyzer offers high throughput, such tests require the use of bulky equipment, and has to be conducted in centralized facilities by experienced medical technicians.…”
