Turk's fluid
RBC diluting fluid contains sodium citrate, formalin and distilled water
The distilled water present in the WBC diluting fluid is not isotonic and therefore is responsible for the destruction of RBCs. DR. Umesh Ghate and Shruti Salian
You can use any isotonic solution like Normal Saline Solution (NSS), Hayem's and Gower's.
The difference between the two is that the RBC Diluting pipette counts the erythrocytes (Red blood cells) while the other one counts the leukocytes (White blood cells) and that the pipette (RBC) itself has a more circular body compared to WBC diluting pipete. On the other hand, WBC diluting pipette has a pointed tip unlike the RBC Diluting pipette. -Fer Philippines <3
sodium citrate prevents coagulation of blood and provide correct osmotic pressure. formalin acts as a preservative and checks bacterial and fungal growth.
it stains the nucleus of wbcs
Rbc pipette is bigger than the wbc pipette to dilute the blood with fluid.
To mix a fluid or chemical with water to make it not as strong.I love bunnies!
RBC's are formed in bone marrow.
RBC
A diuting fluid used to count erythrocytes in a RBC pipette.Dacie's fluid has an anticoagulant. It is an iso-osmotic solution so it will prevent shrinking of RBC's. It also contains formalin to conserve the fluid.It is often paired with Sodium Citrate.Similar to Hayem's Solution.http://www.whonamedit.com/synd.cfm/637.html
counting of Rbc and Wbc is done throug hemocytometer .duilting fluid are needed to destory unwanted things which can confuse us in various ways .
