Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to compare light scatter data generated by flow cytometry and cell morphology detail obtained by blood smears from samples collected into Cyto-Chex BCT and K2EDTA blood collection tubes. The data presented in this technical bulletin show that light scatter patterns and cellular morphology of blood collected and stored in K2EDTA tubes for longer than 24 hours were compromised. Samples collected into Cyto-Chex BCT display almost identical light scatter patterns and cellular morphology from six hours to seven days post-collection.
