Why are white blood cells relevant to the testing?
When the concentration of white blood cells (WBC) in the sample is greater than or equal to 1 million/ml, the seminal plasma will absorb light differently than when the WBC concentration is less than 1M/ml. Since light absorption is a critical element for determining TSC, the user is required to select WBC NORMAL or ABNORMAL when testing a sample. Depending on the users selection, the SQA-V will use the appropriate algorithm to test the specimen.
