are as defined in the specification. These kinds of compounds may show good light illumination stability, have a maximum absorption peak around 640 nm that may not change as a function of ambient temperature, have rapidly increased fluorescence intensity upon binding to nucleic acids to form compound/nucleic acid complexes, and have a light spectrum in the near-infrared region, thereby effectively reducing interference from background fluorescence and increasing the accuracy of the detection when used as a staining agent for nucleic acids in a flow cytometer. The compounds provided can be used as a staining agent for erythroblasts in the blood.

A reagent for blood analysis includes: (1) a compound having the general formula I; and (2) at least one surfactant selected from cationic surfactants and nonionic surfactants. In another aspect a method for differentiating and counting blood cells is provided, the method includes the following steps: (a) mixing a blood sample with the reagent for blood analysis according to the present disclosure to form a cell suspension; (b) detecting scattered light signals and fluorescence signals of cells in the blood sample; and (c) differentiating and counting the cells in the blood sample based upon the scattered light signals and fluorescence signals. The reagent for blood analysis may be effective for identifying and counting erythroblasts and/or basophils in a blood sample to be detected, and meanwhile counting leukocytes therein.
