Turk Solution, also known as Türk’s Solution or WBC Diluting Fluid, is a specialized hematology laboratory reagent commonly used for the manual counting of white blood cells (WBCs) in appropriately prepared blood samples.

The solution typically contains an acidic component that helps lyse red blood cells, allowing white blood cells to remain more clearly visible for counting. A staining component is commonly included to improve visualization of white blood cell nuclei during microscopic examination. The exact composition and colour may vary according to the manufacturer’s formulation.

Turk Solution is commonly used with a hemocytometer or Neubauer counting chamber for manual leukocyte-counting procedures. It is suitable for hematology laboratories, pathology laboratories, research facilities, educational institutions, and other laboratory environments where manual WBC counting is performed.

Accurate results depend on correct sample dilution, mixing, charging of the counting chamber, microscopic technique, and reagent quality. For clinical diagnostic applications, the supplied reagent should meet the applicable quality, validation, and regulatory requirements.
