Platelet count in impedance-based hematology analyzer: Beware of trap!
Among the blood counts, platelet count is most often reported with inconsistency.Many of the analyzers work on electrical impedance principle for red blood cell (RBC) and platelet counting.However, with this technology, factors such as fragmented RBCs, microcytes, cytoplasmic fragments of leukemic cells, lipid particles, fungal yeast forms, and bac
