    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Clinical Pathology

    Background:

    • Reticulocyte counts are crucial for assessing bone marrow erythropoietic activity.
    • The traditional method involves manually counting 1000 erythrocytes, which is time-consuming and tedious.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a novel spinner reticulocyte preparation method.
    • To compare the accuracy and reproducibility of the new method against the standard technique.

    Main Methods:

    • A spinner reticulocyte preparation technique was developed.
    • The new method was compared to the conventional erythrocyte counting method.
    • On-line comparison was performed to assess performance.

    Main Results:

    • The spinner preparation method significantly reduces the tedium associated with reticulocyte counting.
