RBC pipette is used to measure red blood cell count, while WBC pipette is used to measure white blood cell count. RBC pipettes typically have a narrower tip to accurately count the smaller RBCs, while WBC pipettes have a wider tip to accommodate the larger WBCs.
In RBC pipette a small red bead will be present in the bulb region of the pipette , in WBC a white bead will be there.
RBC Thoma pipette is used for counting red blood cells in a blood sample, while WBC Thoma pipette is used for counting white blood cells. They both have different grid patterns that allow for accurate counting of the respective cell types.
No, red blood cells (RBCs) do not have a nucleus or organelles and do not contain DNA. White blood cells (WBCs) do contain DNA because they have a nucleus.
RBC stands for red blood cell, which is a type of cell found in the blood responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. They contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen and helps transport it to tissues. RBCs are produced in the bone marrow and have a lifespan of about 120 days.
RBC lysis solution is used to break down red blood cells in a sample during DNA isolation, as red blood cells can affect downstream applications. The lysis solution disrupts the cell membranes of the red blood cells, releasing hemoglobin and other cellular contents. This step is important for obtaining pure DNA from the sample.
White blood cells (WBC) are produced in the bone marrow from hematopoietic stem cells. Red blood cells (RBC) are also primarily produced in the bone marrow through a process called erythropoiesis, which is stimulated by a hormone called erythropoietin, mostly produced in the kidneys.
