Automated hematology analyzers can rapidly analyze whole blood specimens for the complete blood count test that is aimed at checking blood cells for diseases and count for different blood components. Abnormal increases or decreases in cell counts, as revealed in a complete blood count may indicate that you have an underlying medical condition. Do you know how to decipher the results you might get? Test yourself by taking these trivia questions on an automated hematology analyzer!
