FAQs
1. What is the primary application of the TOTAL COUNT OF BLOOD – HIB CHART?
This chart is specifically designed for quantifying *Haemophilus influenzae* type b (Hib) bacteria in blood samples during laboratory testing. It provides a visual reference to determine bacterial concentration.
2. Is this chart compatible with automated microscopy systems?
The chart is optimized for manual microscopy but can be used alongside automated systems for cross-verification. Its standardized color zones ensure consistency across different visualization methods.
3. How should this chart be stored to maintain accuracy?
Store the chart in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight or chemical fumes. The laminated surface protects against moisture, but prolonged exposure to extreme conditions may affect longevity.
4. Can this chart replace digital colony counters?
While it offers a reliable manual alternative, it is not a direct replacement for high-throughput digital counters. It is best suited for low-to-medium volume testing where visual confirmation is preferred.
5. What alternatives exist for Hib quantification if this chart is unavailable?
Alternatives include automated colony counters, flow cytometry, or PCR-based quantification methods. However, these options may require additional equipment and expertise compared to this user-friendly chart.
