Laboratory workflow for optimizing leukocyte count and differential in synovial fluids on Sysmex XN-1000

CONCLUSION: Our workflow based on scattergram interpretation resulted in accurate WBC counts in synovial fluid using automated/and or manual methods. It is important to identify the presence of "banana-shape" scattergrams to avoid overestimated automated WBC counts. Overall, automated synovial WBC count can be used, even for patients with arthroplasty, but after visual inspection of the scattergram to exclude possible interferences.PMID:38530029 | DOI:10.1111/ijlh.14274
