Science of Sysmex - Hematology Case Study
Sysmex Advanced Parameters
Immature Granulocyte Case Study
This patient presented with leukocytosis, neutrophilia and basophilia. Immature Granulocytes (IG) are
present in the automated differential obtained by the XN-Series™ analyzer, although slightly lower counts
may be reported using manual microscopy. Studies have shown that the manual differential, while long
considered a reference method, is subject to variation resulting from experience of the technologist,
area of the smear evaluated, low number of cells counted and smear/stain quality. Sysmex analyzers use
昀氀uorescent 昀氀ow cytometry to provide an accurate and standardized immature granulocyte result which
includes metamyelocytes, myelocytes and promyelocytes. The “IG Present” message is generated based
on a user-de昀椀ned absolute or relative IG threshold. In this case, the “Left Shift?” 昀氀ag suggests there may
also be bands present and included in the automated neutrophil count.

Sysmex Cares: Making
Strides Against Breast
Cancer 2025
For the 16th consecutive year, Sysmex America
was a proud sponsor and participant in the
American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against
Breast Cancer event in Lake County, IL.
Our dedicated Sysmex team was honored to walk
on Sunday, October 12, at Independence Grove
in Libertyville, IL, to support the 昀椀ght against this
disease. Thanks to the generosity of our company
and associates, Sysmex has raised more than
$100,000 through the years for this initiative
to fund critical research, patient support and
advocacy for a breast cancer-free future.
We believe that by supporting organizations like
the American Cancer Society, we can make a
difference in the lives of the patients, families and
communities we serve.
