A finger stick WBC count on a 20 yr old female is performed using a standard hemocytometer to count the cells. 100 microliters (uL) of blood was diluted with 1.9 milliliters (mL) of diluent. 50 platelets were counted in 1 square measuring 1mm x 1 mm on one side of a standard hemocytometer. Hemocytometer depth = 0.1 mm. Calculate the platelet count.
