What's included
5 deliverables in this treatment
- EDTA venous blood draw at any Mikrochem collection point (walk-in, no appointment needed)
- Full haematology profile: red cell count (RBC), haemoglobin, haematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW
- Total white blood cell count (WBC) with five-part differential: neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils
- Platelet count and mean platelet volume (MPV)
- Laboratory report with values, reference intervals, and flagged abnormals
The complete blood count (CBC) is the most widely ordered laboratory test in medicine and the cornerstone of any health screen. At Laboratoře Mikrochem, the CBC is processed on validated automated haematology analysers using the combined impedance and optical scatter method — the same technology used in hospital haematology departments — delivering a 22-parameter report covering red cell indices, white blood cell count with five-part differential, and platelet parameters. The panel is performed daily in the ISO 15189-accredited Olomouc laboratory, with results available within 2 working days. No fasting is required, and no physician referral is needed for self-paying patients. Walk-in blood draws start at 07:00 at the main laboratory and 06:30 at the nearby Janského Street collection point — both in Olomouc.
About this treatment
The complete blood count (CBC) with differential is the reference screening test for evaluating the cellular components of blood. Laboratoře Mikrochem processes CBC samples on modern automated haematology analysers using impedance cell counting combined with optical scatter analysis — a dual-method approach that delivers accurate counts even for abnormal or immature cell populations, and automatically flags samples that require morphological review.
The red cell parameters provide a detailed picture of oxygen-carrying capacity: RBC count, haemoglobin concentration, and haematocrit give the headline numbers, while MCV (mean corpuscular volume), MCH (mean corpuscular haemoglobin), and MCHC (mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration) reveal the morphological type of any anaemia — microcytic/hypochromic patterns suggest iron deficiency; macrocytic patterns suggest B12 or folate deficiency; normocytic…
The five-part differential leukocyte count is a key marker for immune status. Neutrophilia suggests active bacterial infection or physiological stress; lymphocytosis is common in viral infection; eosinophilia may indicate allergic disease, parasitic infection, or certain haematological conditions. Monocyte and basophil counts complete the picture. Platelet count and MPV (mean platelet volume) assess haemostatic capacity and may flag thrombocytopenia or…

Who is this for?
Routine health screening, investigation of fatigue, investigation of suspected anaemia, infection monitoring, pre-operative assessment, monitoring of patients on medication affecting blood cell production, and general annual health checks.
Preparation required
No fasting required. Avoid intense physical exercise in the 24 hours before the draw if possible, as extreme exertion temporarily shifts white blood cell counts. Walk-in blood draw available from 07:00 at the main Olomouc laboratory (Nezvalova 984/2) or from 06:30 at Janského 464/26.
