Performance evaluation of the digital morphology analyser Sysmex DI-60 for white blood cell differentials in abnormal samples.

ABSTRACT: Sysmex DI-60 enumerates and classifies leukocytes. Limited research has evaluated the performance of Sysmex DI-60 in abnormal samples, and most focused on leukopenic samples. We evaluate the efficacy of DI-60 in determining white blood cell (WBC) differentials in normal and abnormal samples in different WBC count. Peripheral blood smears (n = 166) were categorised into normal control and disease groups, and further divided into moderate and severe leucocytosis, mild leucocytosis, normal, mild leukopenia, and moderate and severe leukopenia groups based on WBC count. DI-60 preclassification and verification and manual counting results were assessed using Bland-Altman and Passing-Bablok regression analyses. The Kappa test compared the concordance in the abnormal cell detection between DI-60 a
