Analytical performance of a point-of-care CBC hematology analyzer, including a 5-part differential: A prospective study to evaluate a microfluidic flow cytometry–based analyzer in waived settings

A microfluidic flow cytometer-based point-of-care (POC) analyzer was validated against an in-laboratory hematology analyzer (Sysmex XN Automated Hematology System). Concordance on a full complete blood cell count (CBC) with 5-part differential, as performed by operators with no prior clinical laboratory experience, was evaluated.
