Product Overview

Reticulocyte Counting Fluid is a meticulously prepared solution designed for the accurate enumeration of reticulocytes, immature red blood cells, in blood samples. This high-purity fluid plays a critical role in hematology laboratories, enabling professionals to assess erythropoietic activity and diagnose various hematological conditions. Our formulation ensures consistent staining characteristics, allowing for clear differentiation of reticulocytes under a microscope or with automated systems. The fluid is engineered for stability and precision, offering reliable and reproducible results crucial for clinical diagnostics and laboratory research. Its careful composition helps minimize background interference, providing optimal contrast for detailed cell analysis. By providing a dependable medium for reticulocyte preparation, this fluid supports efficient workflow and contributes significantly to the accuracy of blood cell evaluations. This product is an indispensable component for any laboratory performing routine hematological tests, delivering the quality and performance required for critical assessments.

Reticulocyte Counting Fluid is primarily used for the precise enumeration of reticulocytes, which are immature red blood cells, in a blood sample. This count is vital for assessing bone marrow activity and red blood cell production.

2. How does this fluid facilitate reticulocyte enumeration?

The fluid contains a supravital stain, such as Brilliant Cresyl Blue, which stains the residual ribosomal RNA in reticulocytes, making them visible and distinguishable from mature red blood cells under a microscope or by automated analysis.

3. What is the recommended storage for this product?

It is recommended to store Reticulocyte Counting Fluid at a temperature between 2-8°C, protected from direct light, to maintain its stability and effectiveness.

4. Is this fluid compatible with automated cell counters?

While primarily designed for manual methods, certain formulations may be adaptable for use with specific automated hematology analyzers. Always refer to the instrument manufacturer’s guidelines for compatibility.

5. What is the shelf life of this Reticulocyte Counting Fluid?

The shelf life typically ranges from 12 to 24 months from the manufacturing date when stored under recommended conditions. Please refer to the product label for the specific expiration date.
