1.6 Detection Principle

1.6.1 Detection Principles of WBC, RBC and PLT
The count principle of the instrument is based on the measurement of
changes in electrical resistance produced by a particle passing through
an aperture sensor.
1) The sample blood is diluted in a conductive liquid. As blood cells are
non-conductive, the diluent is a good conductor. There are big
differences between them.
2) When the diluent passes through the aperture sensor, electrodes are
submerged in the liquid on each side of the aperture to create
continuous current.
3) When cells pass through the aperture, the resistance between the
electrodes increases as the cell volume increases, as shown in Figure
1-4. According to the Ohm’s law: U=RI (U=Voltage, I=Current,
R=Resistance). If I is a constant, U increases as the cell volume
increases.
4) Passing through the magnification circuit, the voltage signal will be
magnified and the noise will be filtered, then you will gain the analytical

15
 Chapter 1 Instrument Introduction

results, as shown in Figure 1-4.

5) One counting chamber and the detection circuit count the WBC.
Another counting chamber and the detection circuit count the RBC and
PLT. The microprocessor of the instrument calculates and analyzes the
cells (WBC, RBC, PLT), and then gives out the histograms.
6) PLT count adopts advanced liquid, electronics and software system.
It settles the repetitive counting of the cells on the side of the aperture
counting area.

1.6.2 Detection Principle of HGB
Adding lyse in the blood, the red blood cell will rapidly be broken down
and release hemoglobin. Hemoglobin and lyse form a new mixture,
which can absorb the wavelength of 540nm. Measure the absorbency.
Through comparison of the absorbency between the pure diluent and
the sample, the concentration of the sample hemoglobin is calculated.
1.6.3 Volume Distribution of Blood Cell
When different types of cells pass through the aperture sensor, there
will be different electrical pulse height. Because of the evident

16
 Chapter 1 Instrument Introduction

difference of the cells sizes, the instrument is able to differentiate the

WBC, RBC and PLT by its pre-set program.
The volume distributions are as follows:
WBC: 20-1000fL
RBC: 82-98fL
PLT: 2-35fL
The leucocytes disposed by lyse can be divided into three types,
according to their volumes: lymphocyte (LYM), mid-sized cell (MID),
Neutrophil (NEUT).
LYM: 35-90fL
MID: 90-160fL
NEUT: 160-450fL
1.6.4 Results and Calculation of Parameter Measurement
The parameters of the sample blood test can be described in three
ways:
1) Measured directly, such as WBC, RBC, PLT, and HGB.
2) Derived from histograms, such as LYM%, MID%, NEUT%, MCV,
RDW-SD, RDW-CV, MPV, PDW, P-LCR.
3) Calculated, such as LYM#, MID#, NEUT#, HCT, MCH, MCHC, PCT.
The derivation of the formularies as follows:
MCV derives from histograms and the instrument collecting and
classifying the erythrocytes according to its volume. It is determined by
measuring the average volume of individual erythrocytes, and the unit
is fL.
RDW represents the volume distribution of the erythrocyte populations,
derived from the RBC histogram. It can be expressed by the coefficient
variation of the erythrocyte volume as RDW-CV, and the unit is %. It
can also be expressed in standard deviation of the erythrocyte volume
as RDW-SD, and the unit is fL.

17
 Chapter 1 Instrument Introduction

MPV is the average volume of individual platelets, derived from the PLT
histogram. It represents the mean volume of the PLT populations and
can be expressed in fL.
PDW derives from the PLT histogram. It represents the geometry
standard deviation (GSD) of the volume of the PLT populations.
P-LCR derives from the PLT histogram. It represents the ratio of the
larger PLT, and the unit is %.
• HCT (%) = RBC × MCV/10
• MCH (pg) = 10 × HGB/RBC
• MCHC (g/L) = 100 × HGB/HCT
• PCT (%) = PLT × MPV/10
• LYM% = 100 × AL / (AL+AM+AG)
• MID% = 100 × AM / (AL+AM+AG)
• NEUT% = 100 × AG / (AL+AM+AG)
• LYM# = LYM% × WBC/100
• MID# = MID% × WBC/100
• NEUT# = NEUT% × WBC/100
AL: Number of cells in LYM area;
AM: Number of cells between lymphocyte and neutrophil area;
AG: Number of cells in NEUT area.
