RBC Parameters

The RBC count is corrected for coincidence and the pulses are edited by

the RER before the MCV is derived. The PLT pulses are analyzed by the

PLT algorithm as discussed in the PLT measurement section.

All numeric and frequency size distribution data are automatically

displayed on the

Data Station RUN Screen

size distribution data for the red cells is displayed graphically as a

histogram. The size distribution data is plotted on the X axis. The relative

number of cells is normalized and plotted on the Y axis. The RBC data

are shown in Figure 3.10.

RBC Data and Histogram

The Red Blood Cell (RBC) count is directly measured, gives the number

of RBCs and is expressed as follows:

RBC = # x 10

The Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) is the average volume of the

individual red blood cells. The MCV is derived from the RBC size

distribution data and is expressed in femtoliters.
