In conclusion, the combined use of WDF and WPC resulted in a reduction of approximately 25% of the number blood smears. As a result of the various techniques for light microscopy and haemocytometry, the adequacy of the XN flagging for abnormal and atypical lymphocytes cannot be established with certainty. To improve the quality of the reported results, it is recommended that laboratory technicians incorporate the haemocytometry results and the flagging information in the microscopic slide review.

With this straightforward method, all seven Sysmex XN hematology modules demonstrated uniform results, which were identical to those of the previously used Sysmex XE-2100 hematology analyzer, the performance of which was well known.
