In recent years there has been a widespread implementation of a new generation of hematology analyzers in the laboratory. These modern cell counters have contributed significantly to our ability to automatically and precisely measure a variety of characteristics in different cell types, including leukocyte sub-classes which were previously determined only microscopically. With this revolution in the hematology laboratory, there have been enormous cost savings and there is clearly an opportunity to improve the quality of service. Here, the authors present a practical guide for the hematology laboratory professional. They review the technology used in the new devices and the integration of the analyzers into the laboratory. Performance of these counters and quality assurance strategies are also discussed, paying particular attention to the state of the art technology, its merits and the potential for future advances. At present there is no other single guide to modern hematological cell counters which focuses on laboratory practice and treats all available technologies in depth. This text, written by authors who are internationally recognized for their research in this area, will have a wide audience including laboratory directors, hematologists, pathologists, administrators, technologists and technicians involved in hematology and diagnostic testing, medical practitioners and groups handling pharmaceutical trials.
