Abstract:

The commonly used technologies in clinic includes classic artificial smears by microscope, automated blood cell analyzer, flow cytometry and digital image analysis, et al. In recent years, technologies of blood cell analysis have been improving, with the characters of more test parameters, optimized methods, more mature assembly line and intuitive visibility. The time consuming and lack of standardization situation of manual work was improved. Combining with automated technologies and manual smears can provide more messages that were useful to disease diagnosis and treatment monitoring as well. This review focused on the clinical applications and progression of blood cell analysis technology.

Key words: blood cell analysis, morphology, flow cytometry, automated blood cell analyzer, digital image analysis
