New Diluting Fluid for Eosinophil Count

The Effect of Chronic Lung Disease on the Course of Ageing in the Male Rat

“…Blood was collected from the tail of the rat for estimation of haemoglobin by the oxyhaemoglobin technique (Sunderman et al, 1953) and for haemocytometer counts of eosinophils using the diluting fluid of Manners (1951), and of white cells using 0.5% acetic acid solution coloured with methyl violet as diluent.…”

Modification of Hypoglycaemia with Hexamethonium Bromide

“…The differences between the 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. counts were calculated, and were termed the mean eosinopenia. Capillary blood was used in eosinophil counting, and both the technique and the phloxineurea diluent proposed by Manners (1951) were employed, the results being determined from the mean of two pipette counts.…”

Non-Specific Effects of Insulin and Electroplexy

“…Capillary-blood was used in eosinophil counting, and both the technique and the phloxine-urea diluent pro-posed by Manners (1951) were adopted. The eosinophil counts performed during treatment, but not associated with insulin tolerance tests, were also done at approximately 9 a.m., and those reported here derive from the mean of two counts estimated twice weekly.…”
