This study evaluates the integrated performance of slidemakers and digital microscopes commonly available on the market.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We compared the percentage of neutrophils for five slidemakers (two Siemens Advia Autoslides, a SysmexSP\u201010 and SP\u201050 and an Abbot Alinity hs) and a Horiba Hemaprep to the corresponding haematology analyser data (Siemens Advia 2120i, Sysmex XN and Abbot Alinity hq). Differential leucocyte counting (DLC) was performed on three different CellaVision digital microscopes (DM96, DM1200 and DI\u201060) and manually. The quality of the smears was assessed using a CellaVision SmearChecker.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We observed a significant positive absolute bias (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.05) for the percentage of neutrophils with the Autoslide and Alinity hs smears on the digital microscopes, but not when DLC was performed manually. The SP\u201010 and SP\u201050 showed no bias regardless of the DLC method. No bias was observed for the Hemaprep smears. All the smears had an acceptable monolayer quality, stain intensity and colour. All smears, except those from Sp\u201010, were of an acceptable length.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Users should be aware of a potential lack of accuracy that can be encountered when using some slidemakers and digital microscopes. All laboratories should validate or verify the differential counts from slidemakers and digital microscope with automated cell differential counters. Manual count validation should only be considered if a significant proportion of clinically relevant abnormal cells are present. Otherwise, haematology analyser results should be favoured.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ijlh.13264","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,15]],"date-time":"2020-06-15T12:59:36Z","timestamp":1592225976000},"page":"573-580","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Cross\u2010evaluation of five slidemakers and three automated image analysis systems: The pitfalls of automation?"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"42","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9522-4298","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Imane","family":"Saad Albichr","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hematology Laboratory Jolimont Hospital Haine\u2010Saint\u2010Paul Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean\u2010Yves","family":"Sottiaux","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hematology Laboratory Grand H\u00f4pital de Charleroi Charleroi Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julie","family":"Hotton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hematology Laboratory Europe Hospitals Brussels Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Morgane","family":"De Laveleye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hematology Laboratory Jolimont Hospital Haine\u2010Saint\u2010Paul Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Phillipe","family":"Dupret","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hematology Laboratory CHR Mons\u2010Hainaut Mons Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gautier","family":"Detry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hematology Laboratory Jolimont Hospital Haine\u2010Saint\u2010Paul Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cyto.a.22092"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","volume-title":"Reference Leukocyte (WBC) Differential Count (Proportional) and Evaluation of Instrumental Methods: Approved Standard","author":"Koepke JA","year":"2007"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","first-page":"173","article-title":"A critical evaluation of the manual\/visual differential leukocyte counting method","volume":"11","author":"Koepke JA","year":"1985","journal-title":"Blood cells"},{"issue":"311","key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","first-page":"315","article-title":"Imprecision of ratio\u2010derived differential leukocyte counts","volume":"11","author":"Rumke CL","year":"1985","journal-title":"Blood cells"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","volume-title":"Dacie and Lewis Practical Haematology","author":"Bain BJ","year":"2012"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1751-553X.2009.01141.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ijlh.12150"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5581\/1516-8484.20130121"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cll.2014.10.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ijlh.13042"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1309\/XMB9K0J41LHLATAY"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jcp.2005.035402"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1751-553X.2007.01002.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ijlh.12044"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/2153-3539.114205"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/cclm-2017-0132"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/cclm-2014-0445"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1532\/LH96.05019"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_20_1","unstructured":"WestardQC.Desirable Biological Variation Database Specifications.https:\/\/www.westgard.com\/biodatabase1.htm.
