RBC, WBC, & PLT Counts

Hemacytometers Hemacytometers  a precision-made slide for performing manual cell counts with the aid of a microscope. Hemacytometers are used when…… automated cell counters and hematology analyzers are unavailable blood cell counts are extremely low to get a cell count for body fluids (spinal fluid, joint fluid, semen counts, and other bodily fluids)

Hemacytometers The hemacytometer is a counting chamber that contains two microscopically ruled areas marked off by lines. The most commonly used hemacytometer is the Neubauer based design. Glass hemacytometers are made of heavy glass with two counting areas. The chamber areas are covered with a coverglass and placed under the microscope for visual examination. The chamber depth in the Neubauer-type hemacytometer is 0.1 mm. A glass hemacytometer is reusable if disinfected between each use. Disposable hemacytometers can also be purchased. Instead of reusing these the coverglass is plastic and can only be used once.

Hemacytometers The hemacytometer contains two identical ruled areas that each have etched lines with squares of specific dimensions. In the Neubauer-type hemacytometer, the total lined area on each side is made of a large square (3 X 3 mm). This large square is divided into nine equal squares each 1 mm2. The total area of all the squares is 9 mm2. When the coverglass is put in place and fluid is added, the fluid volume in the area can be calculated.

WBC Count The area used for counting WBCs is determined by how the sample of blood or fluid is diluted. Each health care facility will have their own list of procedures. Usually if there are a few cells the entire chamber is counted to determine the most accurate number of WBCs. If there are more than a few cells the 4 outer squares numbered 1-4 on the diagram are counted. Different diluting kits are available to help in the dilution ratio and saline can be used.

Performing a Manual WBC Count First determine if the liquid needs to be diluted. If it does follow the instructions for each diluting kit. Load the hemacytometer. Leave the hemacytometer for a few minutes to allow the cells to settle. Use the microscope (10 X) to locate the WBC counting area. You may have to lower the light on the microscope to visualize the WBCS. They will be refractile and round with a definite outline.

Performing a Manual WBC Count Cells touching the upper or left boundary of the squares are counted. Cells touching the lower or right boundary of the square are not counted. Each side of the chamber should be counted and an average of the two should be taken. To calculate the cells if all 9 squares are counted you use the equation….. # of cells X dilution = # cells / microliter 9 X 0.1 To calculate the cells in the 4 outer squares use the following equation….. 4 X 0.1

Performing a Manual WBC Count

RBC Count & PLT Count The large center square is used for RBC and PLT counts. The center square is divided into 25 smaller squares, which are each subdivided into 16 squares. Only 5 of the 25 squares are used to count red blood cells. These 5 are usually the 4 outer squares and the inner most center square. The entire large center square is used to count platelets.

RBC Count & PLT Count First determine if the liquid needs to be diluted. If it does follow the instructions for each diluting kit. Load the hemacytometer. Leave the hemacytometer for a few minutes to allow the cells to settle. Use the microscope (10 X) to locate the RBC counting areas. The higher power (40 X) objective needs to be rotated into place to visualize the RBCs.

RBC Count & PLT Count RBCs are much smaller than the before mentioned WBCs. The cells touching either the top or left boundaries of the squares are included but the lower or right boundaries are not counted. The following equation is used for the RBCs….. # cells X dilution = # cells / microliter 5 X 0.004 Consult your local hospital or health care facility to find out about the equation used to calculate platelets.
