colleenbennett Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 We perform Lamellar Body Counts on our LH780. We validated the test by buying samples from ARUP who also does LBCs on the LH780. We then ran each of those samples twice to verify we were getting consistent results. We figured out the SD and CV for our statistical analysis.We did a total of 20 samples.Hope this helps.

sosier Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I do LBC on a Sapphire and am interested in hearing from others about your cut-offs. We have run over 60 samples and compared them to L/S ratio results and clinical outcomes to determine the cutoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hwyant Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 We are running LBCs on the Sapphires and recently have had some discolored samples. What criteria is everyone using for interferring substances, such as blood, meconium, and/or mucus? CLSI recommends these samples not be tested.

hwyant Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Do you reject these samples or send them out for L/S testing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
