Immature granulocyte count in peripheral blood by the Sysmex haematology XN series compared to microscopic differentiation

Integration of Immature Granulocytes Quantification With the Version 2.0 UniCel DxH 800 in the HematoFlow Strategy

“…5,7,8 The EGC%_DxH correlation as per our study showed similar performance to the quantification of immature granulocytes as seen with those generated by the Sysmex XE analyser platform. 11 Based on our study incorporation of the EGC% into our routine algorithm results in a reduction of 92/259 (36%) of samples that requires either HematoFlow differential and/or microscopical slide review.…”

Diagnosis and evaluation of severity of sepsis via the use of biomarkers and profiles of 13 cytokines: a multiplex analysis

“…Blood samples for WBC counts, ESR, PCT, CRP, cytokines, and blood chemistry were drawn immediately after presentation to the emergency department and were analyzed in a central laboratory within 2 h. Initiation of antibiotic therapy was performed after blood sampling. Hematologic parameters including WBC and IG counts were measured by Sysmex XN2000 (Sysmex, Kobe, Japan) [14]. The Sysmex XN2000 is a newly developed hematologic analyzer providing improved WBC counting, utilizing WDF, WNR, and WPC channels.…”

A Comparison of Mindray BC‐6800, Sysmex XN‐2000, and Beckman Coulter LH750 Automated Hematology Analyzers: A Pediatric Study

“…Even though automated analyzers use the most advanced technologies for the performance of white blood cell differentiation, manual microscopy remains the most reliable and reference method for WBC evaluation, when performed by an expert microscopist . Manual, light‐microscopic blood smear analysis is time‐consuming and the interpretation of results depends on the number of cells included in the analysis as well as on the experience of the laboratory diagnostician . Thus, basing interpretation on analysis performed with automated analyzers, which can test over 1000 specimens per day, would be very useful, provided that results obtained from those instruments were reliable and comparable between analyzers used in different laboratories.…”
