While the perox channel is busy identifying a particular flowcell event, it is unable to process any additional events that might occur. By measuring this "dead time", the analyzer can compensate for these events.

Since the histogram analysis uses calibration factors that are not applied to the RBC V/HC cytogram, there can be a discrepancy between the RBC matrix values and the corresponding %Micro, %Macro, %Hypo, and %Hyper values obtained from the histograms based on the value of the calibration factors. The closer the MCV and CHCM calibration factors are to 1.0, the smaller the discrepancies are.

The ADVIA 2120/2120i autoRETIC reagent contains a zwitterionic detergent (surfactant) that isovolumetrically spheres the red cells.

"Gated" refers to the total population of RBCs containing both mature RBCs and reticulocytes. Negative versus Positive Cell Populations Since reticulocytes have RNA and stain with ADVIA 2120/2120i autoRETIC reagent, they are the positive cell population. Mature RBCs do not stain, and they are the negative cell population.
