Evaluation of AF-emitting RBCs and haematological parameters in healthy humans. (a) Typical RBO scattergrams obtained from human subjects. Less than 0.05 and greater than 0.05 of AF% were defined as negative (i) and positive (ii), respectively. (b) Classification of the subjects according to the definition. (c) Comparison of haematological parameters obtained from the XN-30 analyser: AF-emitting RBC count (i), RBC count (ii), HGB value (iii), HCT value (iv), MCV value (v), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) value (vi), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) value (vii), RDW-CV value (viii), PLT count (ix), and MPV value (x). The dotted lines at 12 g/dL in HGB panel (iii) and at 80 fL in MCV panel (v) indicate criteria for anaemia and microcytic anaemia, respectively. (d) Comparison of haematological parameters obtained from the XN-1000 analyser. Percentage of reticulocytes (RET%) value (i), reticulocyte haemoglobin equivalent (RET-He) value (ii), RBC-He value (iii), percentage of hypochromic RBCs (%Hypo-He) value (iv), and percentage of microcytic RBCs (%Micro-R) value (v). Horizontal bar represents the mean. Data were obtained from undiluted blood samples. The difference between < 0.05% and > 0.05% of AF% groups was analysed statistically. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01.
