RBCs count

        There are two methods for counting RBCs; 1) Automated method through the electronic blood cells counter. 2) Manual method using the hemocytometer. Electronic counter is more accurate than the hemocytometer method. The electronic counter is expensive, needs periodical maintenance. Maintenance of blood counter is very important; failure to do that will result in misleading results. … Read more
