Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the methodology characteristics and clinical application significance of SYSMEX XN-3000 automatic blood cell analyzer(XN-3000) for the determination of peripheral blood nucleated red blood cell (NRBC). MethodsBy XN-3000 and manulal microscopy, 96 blood specimens were determined, and the correlation was analyzed by SPSS 11.0 statistical software. ResultsBy XN-3000, the sensitivity was 98.41%, the specificity was 93.94%, the false positive rate was 3.13%, and the false negative rate was 3.13%. The repeatability was good, the low coefficient of variation (CV) was 6.5%, and the middle and high CV were <5%. There was a good correlation for NRBC and manual microscopy (r2>0.867). Comparison of 2 methods showed no statistical significance (P=0.019). ConclusionsUsing XN-3000 for peripheral blood NRBC is reliable, simple and rapid with high accuracy, which can take the place of microscopy, and has certain clinical application significance.
