ADAM-rWBC is based on the staining of mammalian cell DNA using the
fluorescent dye, Propidium Iodide (PI), a nucleic acid dye. When used
with RNase, PI stains only cellular DNA. In the case of blood samples,
white blood cells (with DNA-containing nuclei) are stained while plate-
lets and red blood cells, (without nuclei) are not stained.
The ADAM-rWBC Kit consists of r-Solution and the disposable 1 test r-
Slide. For absolute counting of residual leukocytes, appropriate sample
preparation is needed. After mixing the sample with the r-Solution and
loading into the r-Slide, the number of total leukocytes is automatically
calculated and displayed on ADAM-rWBC.
