Comparison of Complete Blood Count Using Digon Dcell60, Sysmex kxn-21 and URIT 3010 Haematological Analyzers

Abstract

This was a prospective and cross sectional study conducted in Hi Tech Laboratory, Dr. Mohammed Altaib Laboratory and Modern Medical Laboratory during the period from February to August 2016 .The study was performed to determine the complete blood count using three different Automated hematology analyzers and aimed to compare between this machines, fifty blood samples were collected in EDTA container (2.5ml) , CBC estimation was carried by sysmex kxn-21, Digon D cell-60 and URIT 3010 hematological analyzers and the results were analyzed using Statistical package for Social Science computer program, Mean ± SD and One way Anova test were used (p.value >0.05) ,Sensitivity and Specificity also were measured. The results indicated that there was significant correlation in the mean of Hb, RBC, HCT, MCV, MCHC, RDW-CV , WBCs ,Neutrophil ,MIX (monocyte ,eosinophil ,basophil ), MPV ,PDW and PLCR P. value <0.05 , while there was insignificant correlation in means of MCH ,RDW-CV ,Lymphocyte and PLT P. value ≥0.05. Sysmex kxn-21 hematological analyzer found to be more sensitive and specific when using in measurement of Hb , RBC, HCT ,MCV, MCHC, RDW-SD compared with Digon D cell-60 and URIT 3010 hematological analyzers ,while URIT 3010 hematological analyzer was more sensitive and specific when using in measurement of WBCs, Lymphocyte, Neutrophil ,MIX count, PLT, MPV,PDW compared with them. The study concluded that both Sysmex kxn-21 and URIT 3010 hematological analyzers were more sensitive and specific in measurement of CBC.
