Determination of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC). HPC determination using the Sysmex XE-2100 analyzer on the immature myeloid information (IMI) channel for detection of immature hematopoietic cells. (a) A negative finding in which only areas with mature leukocytes (WBC) and traces/ghosts of erythrocytes (RBC) are visible. (b) A positive finding exhibiting an area of immature cells of the myeloid series (brown area) and an area of HPC presence (violet area). RF = radio frequency; DC = direct current.
