## Abstract ## Background: A flow cytometry count of reticulocytes (RET) provides information about distribution of signal emitted by reticulocyte RNA. A new method of determination of the RNA degradation rate in RET is provided. This technique allows one to determinate the age distribution of RET

## Republic of China Using a fully automated reticulocyte counter, the roles of the reticulocyte count with maturation in pancytopenia were evaluated. Different groups of pancytopenia including aplastic anemia, infiltrative marrow disorder, hypersplenism, and megaloblastic anemia were recruited. All
Flow cytometric reticulocyte analysis is superior to manual reticulocyte counting with respect to precision and sensitivity. Furthermore, because the fluorescence intensity of reticulocytes is directly proportional to the erythrocyte RNA content, flow cytometric analysis using thiazole orange gives
