bt products Hematology Sheath reagent can be used in bt-pro2400,(+plus), bt-pro2401,(+plus)hematology analyzers.
Sheath is used to keep the original ecology of blood cells and bleach RBC to eliminate the scattering of laser. WBC maintains the closest cell structure to its original state. Basophil structure occurs minor changes for the watersoluble property of basophilic granule. RBC osmotic pressure is higher than sheath, so RBC is changed by sheath. The hemoglobin of RBC diffuses from the cells, and moisture content of sheath diffuses into cells. Although the cell membrane remains good, but the RBC and sheath have the same refractive index, and it showed under the laser virtually.
