These are reported as the number of NRBC/100 WBC. In addition to white blood cells, the system also pre-classifies the following five non-WBC categories: smudge, artefacts, giant platelets, platelet clumps and nucleated red cells. These include segmented and band neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, lymphocytes, atypical lymphocytes, plasma cells, promyelocytes, myelocytes, metamyelocytes, and blast cells. Principle, procedure, reagents and equipments for cytochemical stains, hemoglobin electrophoresis, thrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time are explained in a simple way.The DI-60 can pre-classify 12 WBC categories. Indications, diagnostic, contraindications, complications and needles for bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy are explained. It also includes erythrocyte sedimentation rate, peripheral smear examination, reticulocyte count, osmotic fragility test and LE cell phenomenon, heinz body, hemosiderin, methemalbumin and hemoglobin. Packed cell volume can be measured using macrohematocrit method using wintrobe tube and microhematocrit method using capillary tube. There are different methods available for total RBC count, total WBC count, absolute eosinophil count and platelet count. Methods for Hb estimation, colorimetric methods of hemoglobin estimation, Specific gravity method and Noninvasive screening tests for Hb estimation are dealt in detail. Ways of obtaining capillary/peripheral blood and venous blood are covered in this book. Different methods are being used for the collection of blood. This book consists of twenty-one different chapters. Laboratory practices are important in medical practice. It covers the basic aspects of hematology techniques and all the information is explained in a point-wise manner. It can serve as quick reference for students of medical laboratory technology, pathologists and hematologists. The book “The Practical Manual of Haematology” elucidates knowledge on laboratory hematology in a comprehensive manner.
