Abstract: A blood analyzer for analyzing multiple blood parameters is disclosed. The blood analyzer comprises an inlet module configured to receive an initial blood sample, a blood gas sensor device in fluid communication with the inlet module, the blood gas sensor device configured to receive a first blood sample of the initial blood sample and conduct a blood gas analysis on the first blood sample to determine a blood gas analysis parameter, a blood count sensor device in fluid communication with the inlet module, the blood count sensor device configured to receive a second blood sample of the initial blood sample and determine a blood count parameter, and an output configured to provide the blood gas analysis parameter and the blood count parameter.

Abstract: A method of preparation of a blood sample with a reagent for hematology is disclosed.

Abstract: A blood analyser and related methods, in particular a method of analysing a blood sample is disclosed. The blood analyser comprises a memory, an interface, and one or more processors. The blood analyser is configured to obtain image data of a prepared blood sample; select a first image associated with a first image plane of the prepared blood sample from the image data; characterize the first image, wherein the characterization of the first image comprises to determine a first set of cell regions belonging to the first image plane; select a first distal image associated with a first distal image plane on a distal side of the first image plane, and determine a first distal set of distal cell regions associated with the first set of cell regions; and determine a first cell parameter for each cell region of the first set of cell regions based on the first distal set of distal cell regions.
