We have validated the flow cytometry (FCM) for linearity, precision accuracy and robustness and then the ADAM-rWBC results have been compared with the FCM.
Our data confirm the linearity, accuracy, precision and robustness of the FCM. The ADAM-rWBC has revealed an adequate precision and accuracy.
Even if the Bland–Altman analysis of the paired data has indicated that the two systems are comparable, it should be noted that the rWBC values obtained by the ADAM-rWBC were significantly higher compared to FCM. In conclusion, the Adam-rWBC cell counter could represent an alternative where FCM technology expertise is not available, even if the risk that borderline products could be misclassified exists.
