ABSTRACT:
A method for determining the reticulocyte population in a blood sample includes the steps of determining the average cell size of the blood sample, partitioning the sample by centrifugation through a medium of known density so as to provide a fraction enriched with neocytes, determining the average cell size of the fraction, comparing the average cell size of the sample to the average cell size of the fraction and utilizing this comparison to provide a determination of the population of reticulocytes in the sample.
