Évaluation de l'automate de coloration Aerospray™ (Elitech) au laboratoire d'hématologie

We tested in our haematology laboratory, during three weeks, a new staining automatic instrument Aerospray from Elitech company which uses thiazine and eosine for another coloration than MGG that we use regularly. In a first time, we had to adjust the differents times of staining to obtain a color very closed to MGG. We tested it on normal blood smears, on smears from haematological pathologies as acute leukaemia, myelodysplasia or lymphoid pathologies that show very important cells abnormalities to identifie for diagnosis. We stained also some bone marrow smears. The visual microscopy of cell morphology didn't present any problem and this instrument seems to be very interesting because it directly sprays colors on slides, in a short time and in a very secure closed environment.
