2 types of lasers are used.
A blue laser (488nm) excites stained blood cells and the fluorescence is detected. Our unique algorithm identifies reticulocytes.
The red laser is for 5-part diff. measurement, and identifying the size and granurarity of each blood cell based on the scattered light.
Sheath flow in the measurement path arranges blood cells in a straight line for accurate test results.
DynaHelix Flow Technology
Sheath flow arranges blood cells in a straight line, and swirling flow pushes cells out and reduces "re-entry" of blood cells that have passed the detection aperture.
