Abstract:
A reference control composition containing a nucleated red blood cell component and the method of making are disclosed. The reference control composition includes a nucleated red blood cell component made of fixed non-nucleated blood cells and a suspension medium. The non-nucleated blood cell has a natural cell size substantially similar to a size of nucleus of said nucleated red blood cell of said blood sample. The nucleated red blood cell component can be made of equine, ovine, bovine, feline, canine, or porcine red blood cells; and it is substantially free of nucleic acid. The reference control composition can further include a white blood cell component, a red blood cell component, a platelet component, a reticulocyte component, or combinations thereof. Further disclosed are the methods of using the reference control composition for measurement of nucleated red blood cells on a blood analyzer.
Reference Control Containing A Nucleated Red Blood Cell Component
US Patent:
7285417, Oct 23, 2007

Abstract:
A method of making a reference control containing a nucleated red blood cell component includes providing a blood cell containing a nucleus; treating the blood cell with a treatment solution to alter a nucleus property from a natural value to a target value suitable for simulating nucleated red blood cells on a blood analyzer; and suspending treated blood cell in a suspension medium to form a reference control. The method also includes integrating the nucleated red blood cell component with white blood cell, red blood cell, platelet and reticulocyte components. Further disclosed is a cell treatment composition for altering a nucleus property, which includes a conditioning component, a lytic component for permeating cell membrane, and a fixing component for preserving the cell nucleus. Also disclosed is a method of using the reference control for measurement of nucleated red blood cells on a blood analyzer.

US Classification:
436 63, 436 10, 436164, 436166
Abstract:
Methods of using a reference control composition containing a nucleated red blood cell component for measurement of nucleated red blood cells are disclosed. The nucleated red blood cell component is made of stabilized or processed nucleated blood cells which have impedance and optical properties simulating the impedance and optical properties of human nucleated red blood cells under a blood lysing condition as measured by a specific measurement. The methods include mixing the reference control composition with a lytic reagent, and analyzing the control sample mixture on a flow cytometric instrument by impedance, impedance and optical measurement, or DC impedance and a multi-dimensional measurement of light scatter, radio frequency and a second DC impedance; and reporting the simulated nucleated red blood cells in the reference control composition.

Assignee:
Beckman Coulter, Inc. - Brea CA
International Classification:
C12Q 1/02
US Classification:
435 29
Abstract:
The present invention discloses multi-purpose metering fluid/rinse reagents for use in automated cellular analyzers that use liquid volumetric metering. The compositions contain a chelating agent, an ionizing salt, optionally a stabilizing ion, a buffer, a non-hemolytic surfactant, and optionally an antimicrobial agent. Advantageously, the compositions produce less than one part-per-million of formaldehyde over the course of one year. Methods for using the compositions are also described.
