Advances and clinical application of automated hematic cytometry. Rev Cubana Hematol Inmunol Hemoter [online]. 2013, vol.29, n.1, pp. 24-39. ISSN 0864-0289.
Historical background on the development of automation in hematology as well as the major detection principles used by automated blood cell counters are reviewed, referring to their combined action in the characterization of various hematic cell populations. The basic components of hematological analyzers are described. Obtention reference interval and clinical utility of commonly used variables provided by these equipments for the study of erythrocytes and thrombocytes are described referring to the most updated parameters for the study of these cell series. The main parameters of the everyday leukocyte automated study, the novel immunological detection principles used in its characterization, as well as the achievements and obstacles found during this process are mentioned. Finally, the advantages of blood cell counters for the current hematology laboratory work and the need of knowledge of its diagnostic potential by physicians, particularly hematologists and immunologists, are presented.
