  • Patent number: 8512977
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for the analysis of particle analyzer data are disclosed. One embodiment is a method of analyzing immature reticulocytes in a blood sample, including the steps of: preprocessing the blood sample; measuring the blood sample by a detection including a reticulocyte-maturity measurement and a light scatter measurement; analyzing blood cell distribution patterns to identify a set of reticulocyte events; differentiating immature reticulocytes from mature reticulocytes using the reticulocyte-maturity measurement and the light scatter measurement; and reporting immature reticulocytes. The immature reticulocyte fraction may be one aspect that is reported.

  • Publication number: 20100112627
    Abstract: System and method for displaying three-dimensional object scattergrams of particles are provided. In one embodiment, at least two parameters associated with at least one particle in a biological sample are detected and stored as data. An initial two-dimensional scattergram of the data is created with the two dimensions corresponding to the two parameters, and each data point corresponding to a particle in the biological sample. A data point in the initial two-dimensional scattergram is categorized into a population corresponding to a particle population. A density value of the data point is evaluated. Color data for the data point is calculated based on the evaluated density value and the categorized population. A three-dimensional location is generated based on the location in the initial two-dimensional scattergram and a property of the data point. A geometric shape centered at the generated three-dimensional location is displayed using the calculated color data.
