Abstract

The modern hematology analyzers are able to produce platelet counts with great precision and accuracy. Our aim to verification of the reliability of the estimation technique of platelet count on the basis of red cell: platelet ratio. An overnight fast venous blood samples was collected for the following parameters: Manual Method & Automated Method. The results of platelet count using the manual method were as follows: the range was between 100-499 x10³/µl, the mean platelet count was 301.46±44.49 x 10³/µl and by using the automated method, platelet count ranged between 95-484 x10³/µl, the mean was 328.47±54.00 x10³/µl. Red blood cell: platelet ratio method requires only an accurate RBC count performed on a calibrated hematology analyzer to calculate platelet count. This method is precise, simple and consumes less time than using a counting chamber and therefore, potentially should supersede ordinary manual counting.
