The Focusing Flow-DC process minimizes the interference traditionally encountered in DC technology
and produces a near Gaussian histogram. Because of this, histogram related parameters like MCV,
RDW-CV, RDW-SD are more accurate and provide clinically useful information.

The rotational mixing avoids bubble formation, a persistent problem with traditional mixing, to ensure
more accurate RBC result.
