The present invention provides a method for classifying and counting leukocytes which allows classification and count of normal leukocytes as well as discrimination between blast cells and atypical lymphocytes. The method for classifying and counting leukocytes comprises the steps of: preparing a measurement sample by mixing a biological sample; a first reagent for staining nucleic acid; and a second reagent containing cationic and nonionic surfactants for lysing erythrocytes and damaging cell membranes of leukocytes so as to be permeable to a fluorescent dye and an aromatic organic acid at a concentration of not less than 20 mM and not more than 50 mM; obtaining scattered light information and fluorescence information generated by applying light to the measurement sample; and based on the obtained scattered light information and fluorescence information, classifying the leukocytes in the biological sample and detecting blast cells and atypical lymphocytes by differentiating therebetween, wherein when the second reagent contains the aromatic organic acid at a concentration of not less than 20 mM and less than 30 mM, the second reagent has pH of not lower than 5.5 and not higher than 6.4, and when the concentration is not less than 30 mM and not more than 50 mM, the pH is not lower than 5.5 and not higher than 7.0.
本发明提供了一种白细胞分类和计数方法,该方法可对正常白细胞进行分类和计数,并可区分突变细胞和非典型淋巴细胞。白细胞分类和计数方法包括以下步骤混合生物样本、用于核酸染色的第一试剂和第二试剂,后者含有阳离子和非离子表面活性剂,用于裂解红细胞和破坏白细胞的细胞膜,从而使荧光染料和芳香族有机酸的渗透性不低于 20 mM 且不高于 50 mM;获取散射光信息和通过对测量样本施加光而产生的荧光信息;根据所获得的散射光信息和荧光信息,对生物样品中的白细胞进行分类,并通过区分白细胞和非典型淋巴细胞来检测爆炸细胞和非典型淋巴细胞,其中,当第二试剂含有浓度不小于20 mM且小于30 mM的芳香族有机酸时,第二试剂的pH值不低于5.5且不高于6.4,而当浓度不低于30 mM且不高于50 mM时,pH值不低于5.5且不高于7.0。
