Advantages of Automated Reticulocyte Analysis

• Amenable to labor efficiencies or robotics
  • faster analysis per sample
  • allows for batch analysis or random access

• Improved precision of retic counting
  • superior to visual microscopic counts
  • greater objectivity

• New parameters of erythropoiesis
  • Immature Reticulocyte Fraction (IRF)
  • Reticulocyte hemoglobin content
