Don’t Blur The Edges: Considering The Feathered Edge As A Crucial Aspect Of Accurate Reporting

In a world that demands meticulous attention to detail and accuracy, the speciality of hematology is certainly no exception. The accuracy of platelet (PLT) estimates from peripheral blood smears is essential for reliable reporting. Presence of PLT clumps can introduce uncertainty, compromising the reliability of numerical estimates generated by automated whole blood analyzers.  To address this, an effective system should be able to detect and identify PLT clumps with a sensitivity approaching 100%.

What’s killing hematology lab efficiency? Millions of manual PBS reviews

Nearly a quarter of all hematology labs analyze more than 100 peripheral blood smears (PBS) every day, yet the vast majority are still performed manually using an optical microscope. That disturbing statistic is just one creating a growing crisis in the hematology lab. In the age of widespread digitization in healthcare and across industries, hematology laboratory procedures are falling behind. And it's that misalignment that planted the seeds of Scopio Labs.
