Abstract
The FACSCount flow cytometer absolute CD3(+), CD3(+) CD4(+), and CD3() CD8(+) cell counts measured at a field site hospital laboratory in T hailand were compared to FACScan absolute counts obtained at a nearby research laboratory. Correlation coefficients for 208 samples were gre ater than or equal to 0.95. The FACSCount was accurate, and it was eas ier and less expensive to operate than the FACScan. Additionally, the FACScan-generated lymphocyte percentage value was accurate for use wit h the FACScan SimulSET software.
