Platelets: the few, the young, and the active

Carol D'Souza et al. Clin Lab Med. 2015 Mar.

Abstract

Many modern automated cell counters in high-volume clinical hematology laboratories use new, improved technologies for routine platelet analysis. The latest progress includes the use of state-of-the art information technology, specific fluorescent dyes, and monoclonal antibodies to obtain more reliable platelet counts. This information allows the accurate and precise enumeration of platelets even in thrombocytopenic patients and the reporting of novel platelet parameters. In the near future, digital image analysis may permit even better platelet analysis.

Keywords: Automated platelet counting; MPV; Reticulated platelets.
