ABSTRACT:
A multi-purpose blood diluent for use in electronic enumeration of red and white blood cells and the determination of hemoglobin concentration and other classic parameters, mean cell volume and other measurements of blood cells and particles or measurements of blood cells and particles by means of particle analysis instrumentation of the Coulter type. The blood diluent is characterized as azide free, unreactive and osmotically balanced so as to be capable of affording reproducible and accurate hematological test results. The diluent employs an antibacterial agent which prevents adverse bacterial or fungi growths capable of interference with accurate counts and sodium fluoride to achieve stable conditions in red blood celll volume and aid in the complete conversion of hemoglobin in cyanmethemoglobin for hemoglobin determinations.
