Automated Platelet Counting

Abstract
A prototype model of a new automated optical platelet counter has been evaluated. Counts obtained with the machine were compared with phase contrast and electronic counts using whole blood and platelet-rich plasma. The reproducibility of the automated counts and the correlation with other methods were excellent. The machine will work on blood collected in EDTA only, and strict control of the platelet standards is necessary.
