Abstract:
Disclosed is a blood analyzing method including: a step of preparing a measurement sample from blood, a fluorescent dye represented by the following formula 1, and a diluent, a concentration of the fluorescent dye in the measurement sample being greater than or equal to 0.15 μM and smaller than or equal to 1.0 μM; a step of acquiring fluorescence information obtained by irradiating the measurement sample with light; and a step of detecting a red blood cell infected with a malaria parasite in the blood based on the fluorescence information.
Abstract:
A reagent for measuring platelets comprising Nile Blue hydrogensulfate, or Nile Blue and an acid, a reagent kit for measuring platelets comprising the reagent for measuring platelets, and a method for measuring platelets using the reagent or reagent kit.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a blood analyzer that includes: a sample preparation unit configured to mix a blood specimen and a fluorescent dye for staining nucleic acid to prepare a measurement sample; a light receiver configured to receive fluorescence and scattered light that are generated by light being applied to the measurement sample prepared by the sample preparation unit; and a controller programmed to determine whether or not infection with Plasmodium has occurred, on the basis of a value representing variation of a distribution of first particles in a range where single-ring form of red blood cells appear, the range where single-ring form of red blood cells appear being identified according to fluorescence intensities and scattered light intensities obtained by processing of signals from the light receiver.
Abstract:
A blood analyzer including a specimen preparation unit, a flow cell, a light source unit, light receivers, and a processing unit. The processing unit is configured to identify and count lymphocytes in the first measurement specimen by using first scattered light information based on the first scattered light and second scattered light information based on the second scattered light, and configured to identify and count blood cells having thereon the predetermined surface antigen in the first measurement specimen by using first fluorescence information based on the first fluorescence.

Abstract:
A blood analyzer comprises a sample preparing part configured to prepare a measurement sample from a blood sample, an staining dye and diluent, a detecting part configured to detect the fluorescent light intensity and the scattered light intensity, an output part, and an analyzing part configured to identify the population including red blood cells infected by ring-form malaria parasite based on the fluorescent light intensity and the scattered light intensity, and output to the output part the information relating to infection of Plasmodium falciparum based on the scattered light distribution of particles associated with the identified population that includes red blood cells infected by the ring-form malaria parasite.
