Abstract

Microsemi LC-767CRP (LC-767, Horiba, Ltd.) is capable of simultaneous measuring of complete blood count (CBC) including 3-part differentials (3-part Diff.) of white blood cells (WBC) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in 4 minutes. Data obtained using LC-767 were intra-assay-reproducible (n = 10, CV = 0.6-4.0% for CBC, 0.6-2.5% for 3-part Diff. and 2.8-7.7% for CRP). They also showed the good linearity, no definite carry-over and the excellent correlations with routine instruments in our institution. Concerning CRP, the minimal detectable concentration revealed < 0.1 mg/dL, and prozone was observed in the sample containing > 30 mg/dL of CRP. LC-767 showed better correlation with a routine instrument in monocyte percentage than LC-667, probably due to modification of the hemolysis solution ratio and diluent temperature. In conclusion, LC-767 provided accurate CBC and CRP results, and showed improvement in CRP linearity and monocyte percentage compared with LC-667. LC-767, which is equipped with a bar-code reader with easy accessibility to electronic medical record, is suitable as the next-generation point of care testing model in the era of information and network-oriented medicine.
