Multi-parameter hematology apparatus and method

摘要

A multi-parameter hematology analyzer and method are provided for in vitro determination of blood parameters. The analyzer apparatus includes a laser for transmitting light through a specimen container containing a minimally diluted blood sample. The light scattered by the constituents of the blood sample are scattered into a pattern which is recorded on a camera image. This image is then processed by image processing software and is used to establish specific blood parameters.
