OBS

Hematology analyzers are also called cell counters as they are used to make a complete blood count(CBC) including red blood cell(RBC), white blood cell(WBC), hemoglobin, and platelet counts, as well as hematocrit levels and many other parameters.... The difference between a 3-part differential cell counter and 5-part cell counter is that a 3-part cell counter reports only 3 types of WBCs(neutrophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes) while a 5-part can differentiate all WBC types(neutrophils, lymphocytes, basophils, eosinophils, and monocytes).
