In today's world of automation it's important to know whether all automated hematology analyzers if run with appropriate control results, give the same result or not.This study was carried out using ABX-Micros-60, Sysmex-KX-21, Advia-120 and Erma-PCE-210.Same sample including EQAP sample was run within two hours on all instruments.Results were noted and modified -ANOVA test was used to check whether all machines were similar in overall results or not.Seven parameters were assessed.For RBC-counts, WBC-counts and platelet counts Sysmex-KX-21 and Advia-120 were similar.For RBC-counts and WBC-counts all analyzers were similar.For platelet counts except Sysmex-KX-21 and Advia-120 all differed.For hemoglobin all differed.For MCV and Lymphocyte percentage except Sysmex-KX-21 and Erma-PCE-210 all differed.
