Establish a baseline that can be used for comparison with future test results.Detect a health condition before you have any symptoms.Provide basic information about your health.If results from the automated instrument are outside specified limits, a medical technologist will examine the cells closely so complete information about the cells can be provided. A lab instrument then automatically counts the number of each type of circulating cell. First, a sample of your blood is collected and sent to the lab. The complete blood count, or CBC, is a lab test that provides information about these circulating cells. Information about these cells can provide important clues about the overall health of the body. These circulating cells provide oxygen to all of the stationary cells in the body, help fight infection throughout the body, and help stop bleeding after an injury. Some very special and important cells, however, move throughout the body by traveling (circulating) in the blood.
