Diaton-CT-Diff. Diluent is used by Coulter JS, MD-18, ONIX, STKS, STKR, MAXM, Gen*S, HmX hematological analyzer as a whole blood sample DILUTING reagent.
SUMMARY AND PRINCIPLE
A sample volume of a whole blood specimen is aspirated into the analyzer where a portion of it is automatically diluted with Diaton-CT-Diff. Diluent. The dilution of the sample is then introduced into impedance particle analyzer where the red blood cell count (RBC) and the thrombocyte count (PLT) is measured. To the remainder of the first (or to a separate dilution) a lysing reagent is added for the measurement of hemoglobin (HGB), white blood cell count (WBC) and the classification of the white blood cell subpopulations. Consult your specific instrument Operators Manual for additional information with respect to procedures and principles for whole blood hematological analysis.
