CDR = Customized Dilution Ratio CDR - Purpose CDR = Customized Dilution Ratio Purpose : Pushing the limits of linearity without blood manipulation and in a very user friendly way The CDR eliminates manual dilution error and secure the result !

1- Manual selection of the dilution ratio CDR - Operation The end-user can use the CDR in 2 modes : 1- Manual selection of the dilution ratio The end-user can program 3 dilution ratios:

2- Automatic selection of dilution ratio CDR - Operations 2- Automatic selection of dilution ratio CDR are programmed to rerun samples for every “DIL” flag with predefined dilution ratio

Measurement principles RBC/PLT - Impedance HGB - Cyanmethemoglobin or cyanide free WBC - Impedance & optical BASO - Impedance & specific lyse HGB measurement Method Photometry Wavelenght 555 nm Dilution ratio 1/250 Reaction temperature 35°C HCT measurement Method Numeric integration WBC & BASO count Method Impedance Ruby diameter 80 µm Depression of count 200 mb Duration of count 2  6 seconds Dilution ratio 1/200 Reaction temperature 35°C

Measurement principles  1. Cytochemistry Lyses red blood cells Stains nuclei and cytoplasmic granules of leukocytes Fixes the leukocytes in their original state (48 hours post-draw stability) 2. Double hydrodynamic focusing (DHSS) Flow-cytometer with hydrodynamic focusing before and after the aperture    Differentiation Ruby diameter 60µm Diameter of the flow 42µm Injection duration 12 seconds Dilution ratio 1/80 Incubation duration 12 seconds Reaction duration 35°C 3. Impedance method Cell volume (“X” axis) 4. Light absorbance Analysis of the internal structure (“Y” axis”)

Measurement principles The determination of the 5 per differential uses : X -> Cellular volume Y -> Intensity of staining Eosinophils Large Immature Cells Neutrophils Monocytes Lymphocytes Atypical Lymphocytes

General flags RBC and PLT curves “l” and “h” (normal limit) Flags and alarms General flags “l” and “h” (normal limit) “L” and “H” (panic limit) “x” (reject) “!” (suspicion) Pathologic messages RBC and PLT curves
