In the search among biological particles for a standard for counting human platelets, a strain of Absidia corymbifera was found to have spores that resembled platelets. After fixing in formalin and autoclaving the spores had a similar mean cell volume to that of human platelets. A suspension of these killed spores was tested in 100 laboratories and gave consistent results as a standard for human platelet counting. The Absidia corymbifera standard can be used in electronic counting methods but not in sedimentation methods, as the spores will be removed by centrifugation.
在生物颗粒中寻找人类血小板计数标准时,发现一株伞枝犁头霉的孢子与血小板相似。经福尔马林固定和高压灭菌后,这些孢子的平均细胞体积与人类血小板相似。将这些灭活孢子的悬液在100个实验室进行测试,作为人类血小板计数标准给出了一致的结果。伞枝犁头霉标准可用于电子计数方法,但不能用于沉降法,因为孢子会通过离心被去除。
