[Coulter counter model S Plus IV-D: new possibilities in hematologic diagnosis].
The following study concerns the evaluation of the diagnostic applications of a new counter which represents graphically the various hematic cellular populations according to their volumetric dimensions. A series of hematic samples taken from subjects of known pathology have been examined and then compared with others samples taken from subjects in an apparent healthy state, in order to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of the apparatus. The results obtained confirm that a diagnostic survey of this kind has screening value, therefore reserving other exams such as the execution of the leukocytic formula for selected cases.
