| Parameters |
|
Hct, RBC, Hgb, MCV, MCH, MCHC, MPV, RDW, reticulocytes (absolute
number), WBC, neutrophils (number and percentage), lymphocytes
(number and percentage), monocytes (number and percentage),
eosinophils (number and percentage), basophils (number and

|
| Units |
|
Conventional or SI units |
|
| Sample Size |
|
95 µL whole blood with EDTA anti-coagulant is used per
evaluation (500 µL of whole blood in a 13 mm x 75 mm IDEXX
VetCollect® tube is required
for automated sample level sensing). |
|
| Result Timing |
|
The LaserCyte® analyser takes approximately 10 minutes to
completely process a patient specimen, report complete results and
become ready for the next specimen. |
|
| Reagents |
|
The CBC5R kit includes 25 CBC5R tubes, 25 IDEXX VetCollect 1-mL
draw sample collection tubes, one tube of enzymatic wash solution,
one discard tube and one bottle of sheath reagent. |
|
| Calibration |
|
Performed at IDEXX. Lot-specific information is bar-coded onto
each consumable tube. |
|
| Internal Standard |
|
Each CBC5R tube has a set number of qualiBeads. QualiBeads® are known particles
with specific characteristics that are used by the analyser as an
internal standard to verify pipetting accuracy and laser
performance. |
