What is CBC analyzer?
CBC analyzers is a machine that is used to perform the complete blood count (CBC) test in the body. The CBC analyzer is used to count red cells, white cells and platelet condition in the blood. It also determines the hemoglobin level of the person. The doctors recommend the CBC test when they found any kind of infection or allergy in the patient’s body. It is widely used for research purpose and to count the characterize blood cells for disease detection. It is a computerized machine. CBC analyzers are specialized machines that are widely used to count the number of red and white blood cells, blood platelets, hemoglobin levels in a blood sample.

What is a complete blood count test?
A complete blood count (CBC) blood test is done in order to check the complete blood report of the person. The CBC test is basically done when a person is facing some certain conditions and some infections.
The CBC test is performed to check the medication level in the patient’s body. The CBC test provides details about the three types of blood cells that are
- Red blood cells
- White blood cells
- Platelets
The CBC analyzer provides the full details about the blood report. You can get the complete details like how many cells there are in the blood, and the physical characteristics of the cells, such as size, shape, and content. It is very beneficial for other blood-related problems.
Disorders detect by CBC Analyzer
The CBC analyzer generates the blood report of the patient. It is done when the patient has signs of infection, is weak or tired, or has inflammation, etc. The medications and the diet that a person takes also affects the blood counts of the body.
Diseases that can be diagnosed with the help of CBC reports:
- Any kind of Infections
- Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
- Thalassemia
- Bone marrow failure
- Inflammation
- Cancer
- Effects of chemotherapy
- Leukemia
- Autoimmune conditions
- Abnormal development of bone marrow
- Anemia
- Dehydration, fluid loss
- Effects of certain antibiotics
- Effects of a number of medications

What does a CBC analyzer (Complete Blood Count) tell you with its CBC report?
A CBC analyzer is inexpensive to run. It tells valuable information. It requires only a few micro-liters of blood to achieve an accurate and reliable reading.
Below is the information that is given by a common report of the CBC analyzer:
1. Corpuscles or red blood cell count.
2. Platelet count (known as thrombocytes). It is critical for clotting of the blood.
3. The volume of platelet measured in femtoliters.
4. How much volume of the blood is the cell volume as compared to the plasma volume in percentage?
5. The concentration of hemoglobin. It is measured in grams per deciliter.
6. Distribution width of the red cell and its variation in the volume of RBCs.
7. It is able to provide you the information of an average volume of corpuscular or red blood cells).
8. It detects and tells the average mass of hemoglobin concentration and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH). Both of these values are obtained using the results of volume of red cells and hemoglobin.
9. CBC analyzer provides the information of hematocrit (packed cell volume). It is expressed in the percentage measuring the total quantity.
10. It tells the leukocyte count along with differential. It tells you about the total white blood cell (WBC) count and a 5 part differential count (that are basophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils and monocytes). It is reported and calculated as total blood count per microliter. CBC analyzer reported the percentage of total leukocytes, count for the differential.

Depending on the instrument type of the CBC analyzer, it may just be a three-part differential (that is monos, lymphs and granulocytes). CBC analyzer instrument with optic counting and impedance counting could give the 5 part differential.
