Reticulocyte Detection Sysmex XE-2100 Reticulocyte Detection
Reticulocyte Methodology semiconductor laser flow cytometry method. RET-SEARCH (II) (diluent) RET-SEARCH (II) dye (stain) passed through the laser flow cytometer for analysis. Counted using forward light scatter and side fluorescence.
Flow Cytometry Forward light scatter - size. Side fluorescence - nuclear content.
RETIC Channel Explained
Therefore the RETIC Scattergram …
RETIC “Differential” Retic RNA content decreases on maturation. Thus fluorescence decreases with maturation. The XE2100 resolves the differential stages by fluorescence intensity.
