ABSTRACT:
A reagent composition and method is provided for identification of reticulated cells from other cell types in a blood cell sample by using optical measurement. More particularly, the reagent composition contains a nucleic acid dye and sphering agent. More particularly, the method enables the identification of reticulated platelets and reticulated erythrocytes. In addition, the method provides for a concurrent determination of cell by cell hemoglobin of the reticulated erythrocytes and mature erythrocytes in the blood cell sample.
