Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for detecting tumor cells with accuracy at a low cost in a short time. SOLUTION: A sample is mixed with a hemolyzing agent for dissolving erythrocytes in a blood sample to a degree that does not interfere with measurements and bringing leucocytes and anomalous cells into a state suitable for the measurements. The prepared sample is measured by a flow cytometer to measure at least two scattered lights to obtain a two-dimensional distribution. From the two-dimensional distribution, normal leucocytes are classified into at least four and counted, and the distribution areas of lymphoid tumor cells, blood platelet aggregation, large-size blood platelets, and blast cells are set to detect each anomalous cell.
