Automated Slide-Based Approach Introduced for CBCs
The most commonly performed clinical laboratory test is the complete blood count (CBC). Currently, laboratory CBC systems obtain cell counts and morphologic information by maintaining the blood cells in a liquid “flow” and by using the Coulter impedance-based orifice or laser-based cytometry.

CSF Pleocytosis Level Investigated as Diagnostic Predictor
Migration of leukocytes to the cerebrospinal fluid is a cardinal symptom of an infectious condition affecting the meninges or the cerebral parenchyma. Bacterial and viral meningitis cannot reliably be differentiated clinically and requires lumbar puncture to analyze the cerebrospinal fluid. More...13 Sep 2017
New LC-MS/MS Test Introduced for TMA
Acute thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a relatively rare but serious syndrome in which small blood vessels develop blood clots, which result in the mechanical destruction of red blood cells. TMA can result from one or more of several medical conditions and medications. More...07 Sep 2017
Hematologic Abnormalities Found in HIV-Infected Children
In both antiretroviral-treated and untreated individuals, different types of hematological abnormalities have been documented, the most important being pancytopenia. These changes are related with increased risk of morbidity and mortality. More...22 Aug 2017
Capillary Blood Analysis Validated for POC System
The gold standard samples for blood gas analysis are arterial blood collected from arterial catheter or by arterial puncture, but the proper sampling of arterial blood is difficult, painful, and sometimes risky to obtain in patient in transport. More...22 Aug 2017
Liquid Biopsy Approach Inspired by Swarm Behavior
Researchers have designed an algorithm for blood sample analysis where, rather than testing for evidence of cancer DNA or protein biomarkers, they test for tumor cell RNA absorbed by circulating platelets – i.e. thrombocytes. In a new study, they designed the test to diagnose non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs), which make up the majority of lung cancer cases, and achieved ~90% accuracy on a validation control group.
