Description
Reticulocytes are transitional cells between late-stage erythrocytes and fully mature red blood cells. Due to the presence of alkaline RNA material in their cytoplasm, a live stain with Brilliant Cresyl Blue solution reveals a reticulated structure in the cytoplasm, appearing as light blue or deep blue under microscopic examination. The staining results obtained with this solution exhibit a bright and clear background, unaffected by prolonged staining. This staining solution is intended for research purposes only and is not to be used for clinical diagnosis or other applications.

Staining Results
Reticulocytes exhibit a reticulated structure with light blue or deep blue staining in the cytoplasm.
Calculation
Reticulocyte Percentage = (Count of reticulocytes in 1000 red blood cells / 1000) x 100
Reticulocyte Absolute Count (cells/L) = Reticulocyte Percentage x Red blood cell count / L
Notes
Storage
Store at room temperature.
