WBC counts and differentials are currently performed on complex analyzers in either central or satellite laboratories. Rapid and easy to use point of care (POC) CBC testing can benefit certain outpatient clinical settings, where the greatest clinical need has been demonstrated. ⋯ The Chempaq XBC analyzer provides accurate hematologic results that can facilitate rapid quantitative assessment of CBC parameters and thus is clinically relevant, especially in outreach clinic settings and in critically ill patients.
