Abstract

Over the last two decades numerous ways have been devised for automating the recording of the results of the leucocyte differential, ranging from computer-readable cards to very costly automated cell counters. The growing availability of inexpensive personal computers makes it possible to improve the counting and reporting of the manual differentials which still account for the bulk of these counts. This report describes the development of a system using a personal computer, either as a standalone device or integrated into a larger laboratory system, to assist the technologist in performing the differential count and in completely describing the results. It permits complete flexibility in function assignments and in information structuring to match the constraints of the laboratory host computer system.
