Abstract

A method of using a reference control for measurement of immature granulocytes on a blood analyzer is disclosed. The method includes analyzing a reference control that contains an immature granulocyte component made of processed red blood cells for simulating immature granulocytes and a mature white blood cell component for simulating white blood cells of a blood sample on a blood analyzer adapted for measurement of immature granulocytes, and reporting the immature granulocyte component and the mature white blood cell component of the reference control.
