A new flow cytometric method for platelet counting using the RBC/platelet ratio was developed and validated. This precise method meets criteria for a reliable reference platelet count.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Flow Cytometry
  • Clinical Chemistry

Background:

  • Accurate platelet counting is crucial for diagnosing and managing various hematological disorders.
  • Existing methods for platelet enumeration may lack the precision required for a reference standard.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a candidate flow cytometric reference method for platelet counting.
  • To assess the precision and accuracy of the proposed method across multiple laboratories.

Main Methods:

  • A reference method based on the red blood cell (RBC)/platelet ratio was developed.
  • Interlaboratory comparison involving serial dilutions, stabilized material, and patient specimens.
  • Flow cytometry utilizing CD61 and CD41 antibodies for platelet identification.

Main Results:

  • The RBC/platelet ratio method demonstrated negligible coincidence events at high dilutions (> 1:1,000).
  • Excellent intra-assay and acceptable interlaboratory precision were achieved by all participating laboratories.
  • A double-labeling procedure with a 1:1,000 dilution factor was optimized for accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • The developed flow cytometric method meets the criteria for a reference platelet count.
  • The method offers a precise and reliable approach for platelet enumeration in clinical settings.
