Talk:Automated analyser
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the process of a major rewrite of this page, especially haematological analysers. Povmcdov 14:18, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] advertising?
it seems that encyclopedia article can not contain any advertising of commercial products.
From my point of view, description of measuring principle and classification of equipments - ideal content for this article. Kaverin
[edit] Not Precisely, but Good Point
As a professional who uses such analyzers on a daily basis, I can see why the names of several different ones might be mentioned, but not in the way this article does.
- For one thing, different hematology analyzers use similar (but not identical) principles of measuring the cells, and there are other differences in the ways in which these principles are employed. For instance, one analyzer counts RBCs and WBCs in separate apertures, while another uses only one. There are enough differences that I think this article should not say that red cells are counted "this way," and white cells are counted "that way."
- Is this an English version article or an American English one? It keeps switching usage.
- Again, not all "Coagulometers" work the same way. Same for Chemistry analyzers.
- Reticulocytes are often counted by today's analyzers (not so rare as implied here), and most still employ supravital staining such as methylene blue, which is not even mentioned in the blurb about manual retic counts.
Hmm. Think I better consider editing the article. Headzred 13:49, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
