Method for detecting abnormal morphology of erythrocytes

摘要

A method for detecting abnormality in the morphology of erythrocytes, which comprises: (1) mixing a sample containing erythrocytes with a sphere-forming reagent; (2) introducing the sample treated in the preceding step into a detector area of a flow cytometer; (3) measuring at least one scattered light at an angle reflecting the morphology of erythrocyte among the scattered lights emitted from the sample to obtain cell distribution data; and (4) comparing the cell distribution data with cell distribution data on normal erythrocytes that were determined beforehand.
