Test Overview
Sysmex XN9000 for automated cell counts.
Manual hemocytometer cell counts and manual cytospin differential preparations.
Evaluation of body fluids for a variety of disease states.
Synovial Fluid Counts:
TNC:<150/uL
Synovial Fluid Differentials:
Neutrophils: <25%
Lymphocytes: <75%
Histiocytes: <70%
No Reference Intervals are defined for non-synovial counts and differentials.
