Automatic platelet counting with the Couler particle counter.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method for accurately counting platelets is described using the Coulter counter model B fitted with a standard 100mu aperture tube. This enables the counter to be used for red and white cell as well as platelet counts using the same aperture tube. The method uses standard equipment except for a small inexpensive electronic speed controller.

Automated optical counting of blood platelets.
We have evaluated the use of an optical particle counter to perform automated platelet counts on whole blood. The erythrocytes were lysed by dilution of whole blood with 2 M urea and the remainmg platelets and leukocytes were enumerated by a darkfield microscope optical system that detects light diffracted by them. A suspension of fixed human platelets available commercially was highly satisfac...
متن کاملEnumeration of platelets using a model B counter.
an engraved counting chamber and a light microscope, have many possibilities of error. The introduction of phase-contrast microscopy by Brecher, Schneiderman, and Cronkite (1953) has greatly facilitated the counting of platelets and improved the accuracy of the results. However, despite this improvement in accuracy the visual method is lacking in one basic essential, namely, speed in producing ...

Background: CdWO4 is a scintillator with some unique properties. For example, high density, thermal and chemical stability and so on. Different applications of this scintillator such as X-ray scintillator has been investigated thoroughly so far. However, there is limited number of studies reporting the characteristics of CdWO4 as an alpha counter. Materials and Methods: The CdWO4 powder was syn...
متن کاملPlatelet counting using the Coulter electronic counter.
A method for counting platelets in dilutions of platelet-rich plasm using the Coulter electronic counter is described.(1) The results obtained show that such platelet counts are at least as accurate as the best methods of visual counting. The various technical difficulties encountered are discussed.
