Abstract
A method for measuring immature granulocytes in a blood sample is described. The method includes the steps of lysing red blood cells of a blood sample with a lytic reagent, analyzing the sample mixture by DC impedance measurement, determining immature granulocytes from obtained DC histogram, and reporting immature granulocytes in the blood sample. The method further includes measuring nucleated red blood cells in the blood sample.
