Blood analyzer
• Whole blood is passed between two electrodes through an aperture so narrow that
only one cell can pass through at a time.
• The change in impedance is proportional to cell volume, resulting in a cell count and
measure of volume.
• Principles of flow cytometry and light scattering blood cell testing: Individual cells
are refracted, diffracted, and scattered as the sheath fluid with fluid power
aggregation passes through the laser irradiated detection area, and the scattered
light is received by the light detector and produces a pulse.
Blood analyzer
•Electrical impedance
•Light scatter
•Fluorescence
•Light absorption
•Electrical conductivity.
• This is because of something called the cell refractive index, which is based on the
cell’s shape and size.
• The machine measures how much light the cell absorbs and scatters to determine the
type of cell.
• The laser light employed in light-scatter cell counts is unique in that it has just one
wavelength and so travels in a straight line.
• As a result, it is more exact than other forms of light, such as tungsten halogen light
beams.
• The laser beam is very effective in diagnostic hematology because it may produce
highly accurate scatter patterns that can be utilized to distinguish various types of
blood cells.
