  • Differential white blood cell counts are important for diagnosing and treating conditions like asthma, but different testing methods can yield variable results under different conditions.
  • A study compared blood samples analyzed with four popular hematology analyzers to assess the stability of eosinophils, a key cell type in asthma management, under various storage temperatures and time points.
