| description | Studies suggest that capillary cell counts can have values different from venous blood. One study reported significantly higher venous platelet counts in neonates compared to the corresponding capillary values. The study also found the capillary blood samples had higher Hb, Hct, red blood cell (RBC), white blood cell (WBC), and lymphocyte counts. [PMID:12542436] | |

| component | Platelets | |
| property | NCnc = Number Concentration (count/vol) | |
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | |

| scale | Qn = Quantitative: The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256 | |
