title: [Automation in hematology (author's transl)].
abstract: A special meeting of the French Hematological Society, held on October 4 and 5, 1976, was devoted to automation in hematology. Six topics were discussed: description of the apparatus and discussion of the results of hemostasis (ELECTRA 600 D, COAGULOMETER, COAG A PET, THROMBOLAB and AUTO FI DADE); automation in blood group determination (Technicon auto-analyzer, Groupamatic MG 50, and picture analysis by the QTM 720); automatic differential white cell counts with presentation of and results obtained with the HEMA-LOG D, CORNING LARC, GEOMETRIC DATA, HEMATRAK and PERKIN ELMER DIFF 3 systems; the value of cell volume analysis in the study of red blood cells, platelets, normal lymphocytes, lymphocytes in chronic lymphocytic leukemia and blast cells; contribution of new picture analysis apparatus in the study of fibrosis and bone marrow insufficiency; the place of automation in laboratory management.
