| Special Instructions: |
To find the normals for other age
brackets for the neutrophil, band, lymphocyte, monocyte, eosinophil and basophil
cell lines, see their individual procedures. The differential is not part of the
Hemogram and must be ordered as "CBCD," Hemogram and diff. Manual differentials
will be performed when the results of the Instrument automated differential do
not correlate with previous patient results or if there are instrument flags
indicating questionable results that need visual confirmation/evaluation. |
