Reticulocytes were stable for 72 h under both storage conditions. The mean cell volume and haematocrit changed significantly following 24-h storage at room temperature. The mean, mean per cent change and mean absolute difference between the value at 4 h and each time point for all parameters were calculated.ResultsAmong CBC parameters tested, the white cell count, red cell count and haemoglobin levels were found to be stable for up to 72 h. Both stored aliquots were retested after 24, 48 and 72 h. Each specimen was distributed into two aliquots and one stored at 4 ☌ and the other at room temperature (25 ± 1 ☌). IntroductionIn this study, changes that occur in various blood parameters as determined by the Sysmex XE-5000 analyser upon storage of blood samples for 72 h were investigated.Methodsīlood specimens (200) were processed through the SYSMEX XE-5000 haematology analyser within 4 h of collection. Although the number of circulating blood cells was significantly altered by RFID exposure at a whole-body specific absorption rate of 2 W/kg for 2 weeks, these changes do not necessarily indicate that RFID exposure is harmful, as they were within the normal physiological response range. The number of red blood cells (RBCs) and the values of hemoglobin, hematocrit, and RBC indices were increased in the RFID-exposed group compared with those in the cage-control and sham-exposed groups (P 0.05). Complete blood counts were performed after RFID exposure, and the CD4⁺/CD8⁺ ratio was determined by flow cytometry. Sprague–Dawley rats were exposed to RFID at a whole-body specific absorption rate of 2 W/kg for 8 h per day, 5 days per week, for 2 weeks. We investigated whether exposure to the 915 MHz radiofrequency identification (RFID) signal affected circulating blood cells in rats.
