Complete Blood count
Hematology includes the study of cells circulating in the blood. It comprises of the analysis of the concentration, structure, and function of cells in blood and their precursors in the bone marrow.
Assessment of RBC, WBC and platelet count from manual and automated particle counter is central to the diagnosis and management of hematologic diseases. Hematology automation combined with sophisticated algorithms for data interpretation has led to dramatic improvement in the utility of automated analyzers in patient care.
