Abstract

Automated analyzer intended for analysis of human blood assesses the main parameters of murine blood with high accuracy and good reproducibility. Differentiation of murine leukocyte by this analyzer is objectively impossible, but it permits the investigation of some characteristics heretofore difficult to study because the routine methods were inaccurate (assessment of the mean size of red cells and platelets or of the mean content of hemoglobin per red cell). Analysis of these values is useful, among other things, in simulation of various anemias in mice.
