The distilled water present in the WBC diluting fluid is not isotonic and therefore is responsible for the destruction of RBCs.

WBC diluting fluid is designed to lyse red blood cells (RBCs) while preserving white blood cells (WBCs) for counting and analysis. The lysis occurs due to the specific osmotic properties and chemical composition of the diluent, which affects the RBC membranes but not the more robust WBC membranes. This selective lysis allows for accurate WBC enumeration without interference from RBCs. The fluid typically contains agents that disrupt the lipid bilayer of RBCs, leading to their breakdown while maintaining the integrity of WBCs.
RBC diluting fluid commonly consists of an isotonic saline solution containing electrolytes and buffers to maintain the stability of red blood cells during counting. The composition may vary based on the specific laboratory protocol or commercial product used.
Rbc pipette is bigger than the wbc pipette to dilute the blood with fluid.
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
counting of Rbc and Wbc is done throug hemocytometer .duilting fluid are needed to destory unwanted things which can confuse us in various ways .
1 to 2 WBC TO 1000 RBC
When a MCH and an RBC and WBC is low, what can cause this"
RBC pipette has graduations up to mark 101 while WBC has graduations up to mark 11. The size of the bulb of RBC pipette is larger than the bulb of WBC Size of the lumen(the hollow structure)in RBC is smaller than that of the WBC pipette
If rbc stands for red blood count and wbc stands for white blood count, then you may be able to predict if someone is becoming anemic.
I believe that cancer does make your WBC lower.
