WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT
OBJECTIVES
1. To practice performing and calculating a manual white cell count.
2. To know the precautions observed when doing the test.
INTRODUCTION .
Leukocytes are white blood cells that defend the body against infective
microorganisms and remove debris, including dead or injured host cells. There
are about 4,000 to 11,000 leukocytes per cubic millimeter of blood. Leukocytes
are primarily in the body tissues but are transported in the circulation
Principle:
Whole blood is mixed with a weak acid solution to dilute the blood and
hemolyze the red blood cells.
MATERIALS / EQUIPMENT / REAGENTS
WBC pipet WBC diluting fluid
Neubauer hemocytometer 70% alcohol
thick coverslip EDTA anticoagulated blood
microscope Unopette
counter ; Petri dish
sucking tube filter paper’ ¥
gauze/tissue
PROCEDURE
1. Draw the blood up to the 0.5 mark of a WBC pipet.
2. Remove the blood from the outside of the pipet with a clean gauze.
3. Holding the pipet almost vertical, place the tip into the fluid. Draw the WBC.
diluting fluid up to 14»mark, while gently rotating the pipet to ensure a proper
amount of mixing. .
. Firmly cover the tip of the pipet with the index finger and detach the sucking
tube attached from the other end.
. Shake pipet for 3 minutes, either by hand or by mechanical shaker.
Place the index finger over the top of the pipet to control the flow of blood.
- Discard the first 4 or 5 drops of the mixture.
Charge counting chamber. Allow to stand for 1 minute.

Calculation:
WBC counted x 10 x 20
WBC in thousand/mm? = r
where 10 = depth correction factor (constant)
20 = dilution factor (variable)
4 = area correction factor (constant)
