Background: The Mindray BC-6200 is a new automatic hematology analyzer that quantifies the parameters of blood morphology and leukocyte differential in five populations (5-Diff). The aim of the study was to evaluate the BC-6200 and compare it with the Siemens ADVIA 2120i analyzer.
Materials And Methods: The comparison between BC-6200 and ADVIA 2120i analyzers was performed using 390 whole blood samples collected on K EDTA. For the BC-6200, the carryover effect, precision, and linearity were evaluated. 138 samples were used to assess the sensitivity and flag ability, suggesting the presence of abnormal cells such as blasts, immature granulocytes, or atypical lymphocytes. Flagging results were compared with microscopic evaluation of blood smears.
Results: The BC-6200 analyzer showed a high correlation (r ≥ .97) with ADVIA 2120i for most of the compared parameters except RDW (r = .8350), MPV (r = .7634), Mon# (r = .8366), Baso# (r = .9205), and NRBC (r = .3768). The BC-6200 had better correlation with microscopic evaluation for NRBC (r = .8902) compared with ADVIA 2120i (r = .5677). The BC-6200 has shown high efficiency for flagging blasts (80.4%), immature granulocytes (80.5%), and atypical lymphocytes (69.0%).
Conclusion: The new Mindray BC-6200 hematology analyzer provides high measurements precision and good correlation with ADVIA 2120i for most of the morphology and 5-diff parameters.

Article Synopsis
- 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.
- Findings indicated that while fresh samples provided similar results across platforms, significant discrepancies arose after 24 hours, particularly with eosinophils, emphasizing the need for optimized handling conditions based on cell type and analyzer used.
Delta Neutrophil Index as a New Marker of Purulent Inflammation in Men With Non-odontogenic Abscesses of the Neck.

Introduction If non-odontogenic abscesses and phlegmons (all purulent inflammations where the etiology is not a diseased tooth) of the neck are not promptly treated, they can lead to serious complications and even end in the death of the affected patient. Classical markers of inflammation such as plasma concentration of leukocytes (WBC), neutrophils (Neu), C-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) are elevated in inflammatory neck diseases, but none of them has been proven as a definite marker in the prediction of this type of pathology. This necessitates the search and analysis of new indicators that could be used in the diagnosis, follow-up, and prognosis of patients with purulent neck infections.

Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and visual assessments of anisocytosis assess variability in erythrocyte size. Veterinary studies on the correlation between the two methods and on observer agreement are scarce. The objectives were to assess the correlation of the grading of anisocytosis by means of conventional microscopy of canine blood smears to RDW, and to assess intra- and inter-observer variation in assessing the degree of anisocytosis.

Background: Clozapine is a first-line therapy and the only FDA-approved drug for patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS). However, frequent measurement of absolute neutrophil count (ANC) is required to monitor for potential adverse severe neutropenia from clozapine therapy. We evaluated 3 point-of-care (POC) instruments that perform the complete blood count (CBC) with differential to assess their analytical performance and potential to meet the clinical need for clozapine therapy management.
