Abstract:
1. A hematology system for determining a platelet status in a biological sample, the system comprising: a first module configured to determine a platelet clump event and a white blood cell event; a second module configured to determine an observed platelet count and a white blood cell concentration; and a data processing module in connectivity with the first module and the second module, wherein the data processing module comprises a processor and a tangible non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer readable medium programmed with a computer application that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to determine the platelet status based on the sum of the observed platelet count and a lost platelet count, wherein the lost platelet count comprises a multiplication product of a first factor and a second factor, the first factor based on the platelet clump event and the white blood cell event, and the second factor comprising the white blood cell concentration.
