When counting RBCs and WBCs do you use a concentrated blood sample and a hemocytometer?

No, you will dilute the blood before putting it into the counting chamber (hemocytometer). RBC counts will typically be diluted with normal or isotonic saline, or a similar fluid. WBC counts will be diluted with a substance that will cause the lysis of non-nucleated RBCs (aka mature RBCs). The diluent used is usually 20% acetic acid, 1% HCl acid, Turk's acid (acetic acid and a stain), or 1% ammonium oxalate.
