Introduction
ADAM-rWBC2 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 platelets, red blood cells and plasma (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-rWBC2.
