Sysmex XE-2100 Reticulocyte Detection
Reticulocyte Methodology • semiconductor laser flow cytometry method. • RET-SEARCH (II) (diluent) • RET-SEARCH (II) dye (stain) • passed through the laser flow cytometer for analysis. • Counted using forward light scatter and side fluorescence.
Flow Cytometry • Forward light scatter - size. • Side fluorescence - nuclear content.
RETIC “Differential” • Retic RNA content decreases on maturation. • Thus fluorescence decreases with maturation. • The XE2100 resolves the differential stages by fluorescence intensity.
