Background: The Sysmex XN-V is derived from the new Sysmex XN series of human hematology analyzers. The main changes from the previously validated XT-2000iV analyzer include an optic-fluorescent analysis for platelets and a nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) count.
Objective: We aimed to validate the Sysmex XN-V for feline blood following the American College for Veterinary Clinical Pathology and International Council for Standardization in Hematology recommendations.
