%MICROm Percentage of mature RBC population with cell
volumes less than 60 fL
%MICROg Percentage of gated cell population with cell
volumes less than 60 fL
MCVr Mean Corpuscular Volume is the mean of the
RETIC Volume histogram for the reticulocyte
population.
MCVm Mean Corpuscular Volume is the mean of the
RETIC Volume histogram for the mature RBC
population.
MVCg Mean Corpuscular Volume is the mean of the
RETIC Volume histogram for the gated cells.
MCV Delta MCVr - MCVm
RDWr Red cell Distribution Width is the coefficient
of variation (CV) of the RETIC Volume
histogram (channels 15 to 99) for the
reticulocyte population.
RDWm Red cell Distribution Width is the coefficient
of variation (CV) of the RETIC Volume
histogram (channels 15 to 99) for the mature
RBC population.
RDWg Red cell Distribution Width is the coefficient
of variation (CV) of the RETIC Volume
histogram (channels 15 to 99) for the gated
cells.
RDW Delta RDWr - RDWm
RETIC HC Histogram
The RETIC hemoglobin concentration (RETIC HC) histogram represents the
overlaid distributions of mature RBCs and reticulocytes by cellular hemoglobin
concentration only. The histogram has a range from 0 g/dL to 50 g/dL. The
displayed data includes the CHCMg calibration factor.
