Recently a six part Sysmex XN -350 was installed in our laboratory . On inquiring regarding MU for all parameters, the application specialist mentioned that whole blood was diluted with Cell Pack DCL and the diluted blood was analysed 10 times and the factor was calculated . Limit of quantification . it was calculated as 0.02 for Total leukocyte count (TLC) , 0.01 for Erythrocyte counts (RBC), 0 for Haemoglobin (Hb) , 0.1 for Haematocrit and 2 for Platelet counts.

I am not very convinced as to how it need to be expressed whether as in India we express TLC in terms of X 1000/ microliter ; RBC as X million / microliter and Platelets as 100000/ microliter
