In the less advanced cell counters, ie. the 3 Part Differential Cell Counters, Neutrophils, Lymphocytes and Granulocytes are counted whereas in 5 Part Differential Cell counters, Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils and Basophils are counted separately and more accurately.

What does the medical abbreviation cbc w diff mean?
Complete blood count with differential. Total leukocyte count gives the total number of white blood cells per microliter of blood. The differential count gives the percentage of the various types of white blood cells like neutrophils, lymphocyts and eosinophils.A CBC is a complete blood count.It contains:RBC - number of red blood cellsMCV - average volume of individual red blood cellsMCHC - average amount of hemoglobin per red blood cellRDW - the average size of the red blood cellHemoglobinHematocritWBC - number of white blood cells.If it is ordered with a differential, then they want the lab to break down the different types of white blood cells, such as neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, as monocytes.Different types of diseases cause a rise in the different types of WBCs, so a differential can often be useful in narrowing down a diagnosis.

What is normal range of WBC in blood?
There are normally between 4×109 and 11×109 white blood cells in a litre of blood, making up approximately 1% of blood in a healthy adult. Then there are 4 types of white blood cell (WBC) -- Neutrophils - which make up about 50 - 60% of WBCs Lymphocyte - about 30-40% of WBCs Eosinophil - 1-5% of WBCs Basophil - less than 1% of WBCs === ===
