3 April 2024 (Wednesday) - A New Cell Counter?

I had an email today inviting me to a presentation about the use of artificial intelligence in haematology. You can see the company’s video by clicking here.  
The video was an eye-opener… not because of amazing outstanding technical developments, but because it said its system would do away for the need for endless manual differential counting. No one would seem to have had the heart to tell this company that endless manual differential counting went out the window with the advent of the Technicon H1 analyser in the mid-1980s (I was there!).
Furthermore if the lab’s cell counter can’t do a differential count on a particular sample, this artificial intelligence system can’t either.
Having watched the video, I shall give this presentation a miss…
