Platelets are most important in providing cellular hemostasis but also take part in
inflammation and immune processes. Increased platelet size has been regarded as a …

Despite the ongoing development of automated hematology analyzers to optimize complete
blood count results, platelet count still suffers from pre-analytical or analytical pitfalls …

Verification of hematology analyzers (automated blood cell counters) is mandatory before
new hematology analyzers may be used in routine clinical care. The verification process …

Pseudothrombocytopenia (PTCP), a relative common finding in clinical laboratories, can
lead to diagnostic errors, overtreatment, and further (even invasive) unnecessary testing …

Reticulated platelets are immature platelets circulating in blood; they reflect the activity of
megakaryopoiesis in the bone marrow. Therefore, they can be used as a non-invasive test in …

Point-of-care testing (POCT) refers to any diagnostic test administered outside the central
laboratory at or near the location of the patient. By performing the sample collection and data …

Summary Introduction The Sysmex XN‐series is a new automated hematology analyzer
designed to improve the accuracy of cell counts and the specificity of the flagging events …

Previous investigations have indicated that RNAs are mostly present in the minor population
of the youngest platelets, whereas translation in platelets could be biologically important. To …

Platelet counts (PC) estimate bleeding risk in Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP). We
investigated whether measures of thromboelastometry and absolute immature platelet …

Summary Introduction The S ysmex XN‐2000 analyzer can assess 36 routine and 57 cell
population data (CPD) items. In this study, we evaluated these items as sepsis biomarkers …
