Live Blood Analysis
This is a microscopic examination of a 'wet prep'.
As in any routine haematological examination of cells, certain changes to cell size or shape give information about the condition or health of the patient. The examination of a wet preparation of blood has no difference to the examination of cells that have been stained and fixed, in that it provides critical information necessary for effective patient review. However, the benefit of the Live blood analysis is that the cells are examined immediately upon blood draw from the patient, and have not been introduced to or altered in any way by chemicals or staining solutions as in a dried/fixed slide preparation.
