چکیده (انگلیسی):

Haematology coulters are widely used in labs and hospitals in both diagnostic and treatment
affairs. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of haematology coulter
in comparison with the traditional manual method. Eighty blood samples obtained from
adult albino rats were subjected to analysis in both methods. Results showed a significant
(p
0.05) elevation in values of red blood cells, haemoglobin and mean corpuscular haemoglobin
obtained fromcoulter compared to those of manual method, whereas monocytes
count increased in coulter compared to manual method. No significant difference was
observed related to total white blood cells and its fractions. Indices of mean corpuscular
volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration were not significant. In conclusion,
the efficiency of coulter is better than manual method.
