Evaluation of preanalytical stability of the sample for complete blood count
Journal Title: Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of time of incubation on complete blood count (CBC) by using HmX analyzer. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted at Manipal Acunova Limited, Bangalore. Ten blood samples which were stored at room temperature for CBC and differential count by using HmX analyzer were analyzed within one hour of draw and on 24, 48 and 72 hours of draw. Results: Differential count measured in an automated instrument changed over time. Conclusions: The finding of this study shows that some of CBC parameters can be changed with the incubation, therefore it is better to perform on a fresh sample.
