Abstract
Whole blood is mixed with a reticulocyte reagent system that has a reticulocyte staining reagent and a diluent reagent, used in combination. This mixture is incubated at room temperature for between about 15 minutes to about 4 hours. The incubated mixture is then analyzed and the light scattering properties of the cells are detected, collected, differentiated and quantitized. Data gathering includes, at least, 10 and 90 degree light scatter detection.
