Evaluation of precision and method comparison of the Mindray BC-5000 Vet hematology analyzer in the cynomolgus macaque

= 0.6-0.7). Good agreement was found in the Bland-Altman analysis of Hct, and concentrations of RBCs, WBCs, neutrophils, and lymphocytes, with narrow limits of agreement. Monocyte concentrations were in moderate agreement given a small positive proportional bias; Hb, MCV, MCH, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, eosinophils, and basophils had wider limits of agreement and proportional bias, indicating underestimation by the analyzer. Bland-Altman findings were consistent with regression analyses. Based on combined precision and method comparisons, the BC-5000 Vet provides reliable performance for routine CBC analysis in healthy cynomolgus macaques.
