Leukocyte count
---------------------------------
We, pediatricians frequently have been order to measure White
Blood Cells(leukocyte) and its differential, as described in the
clinical records of first human trial on penicillin.
At present, the counting of white blood cell is very easy to do
, less than 5 minutes. Doctors need no technician.
In the past, the enumeration of leukocyte was counting manually
using Hemacytometer under light microscope.
Manual determination of White Blood Cells :
1) a few micro-litter of whole blood were filled to the pipette.
2) diluted with stain solution, and squeeze gently several times.
3) charge Neubauer Hemacytometer with stained blood.
4) using 100x magnification, count leukocytes in the 4 corner
squares( total: 16 corners), of the counting camber.
5) multiply number of leukocytes counted by 50 = Total WBC
count. if 210 leukocytes are counted, total count is 210x50=
10,500/cu mm.
