title: [Platelet count and distribution of platelet volume in whole blood using a Coulter S Plus. Demonstration of errors not detected by the apparatus].
abstract: The Coulter Counter S Plus is a reliable instrument for performing platelet counts, platelet sizing and different platelet indices. A critical analysis of platelet indices, mean red cell volume and platelet histograms indicates the presence of small erythrocytes thus avoiding any errors.
