Comparison of white blood cell counts by WNR, WDF, and WPC channels in Sysmex XN hematology analyzer

摘要

Introduction: The Sysmex XN modular system (Sysmex, Kobe, Japan) uses a novel technology for white blood cell (WBC) count and differential, using separate channels: white cell nucleated (WNR), WBC differential (WDF), and white progenitor cell (WPC) channels. We questioned how concordant WBC counts would be between them.
