you add 2 uL of blood to 1.988 mL of Hayems solution, mix will add to a hemocytometer slide and observe under high power. 1 square height = 100 um d= 0.2 mm. A Calculate the total RBC count? B. is this a high or low count? give two possible explanations for this abnormality? RBCs 27 out of 4 squares

Step 1
988 mL = 1988 µL - Total volume = 2 µL + 1988 µL = 1990 µL - Dilution factor = Total volume / blood volume = 1990 µL / 2 µL = 995 Show more…

You use the direct count method to measure the number of human red blood cells in a sample. The hematocytometer has 25 large grids equal to a volume of 0.02 µL (microliter). You count the cells in one of the 25 large grids and find 16 cells. What is the concentration of cells in the blood sample? (indicate the units and use scientific notation).

Blood is sucked up to .8 mark and the diluting fluid until the last mark of the RBC pipet. A total of 164 cells were counted in only 2 WBC (large) squares. Compute for the total cell count.
