In this classification a calibrator for red cell and white cell counting is a device that resembles red or white blood cells and that is used to set instruments intended to count red cells, white cells, or both. It is a suspension of particles or cells whose size, shape, concentration, and other characteristics have been precisely and accurately determined US FDA regulates Calibrator for red cell and white cell counting under 21 CFR 864.8185 and under FDA product code KSA.

UNSPSC 41131805 Calibrator for red cell and white cell counting is a Commodity code encompassing laboratory equipment and consumables for hematology testing and quality assurance in public health and clinical settings. State and local governments procure hemoglobin analyzers, calibration systems, and supporting laboratory supplies under this code to maintain diagnostic accuracy and regulatory compliance in blood-screening and disease-surveillance operations. Issuing bodies include state health departments and their subordinate laboratory agencies; the recent opportunities reflect procurement by California's Department of Public Health and Texas's Health and Human Services Commission paired with the Department of State Health Services.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in California and Texas. California's Department of Public Health issued RFB-IS-27200117 in late August 2026 (due September 4, 2026) for public health laboratory supplies, media, reagents, and consumables, with CBE set-asides for certified small businesses, minority-owned enterprises, women-owned businesses, and disabled veteran-owned businesses. Texas HHSC and DSHS issued IFB HHS0017310 in May 2026 (due May 18, 2026) for a D-10 Hemoglobin Testing System with Rack Loader and accessories to replace equipment at the South Texas Lab in Harlingen, with a firm-fixed price structure and historical-spending guidance of $45,050 to $80,000 for fiscal year 2025; the contract runs through August 31, 2026, with an optional one-year extension. HUB subcontracting plans were encouraged but not required in the Texas solicitation. Both procurements tie to active laboratory operations and equipment replacement cycles in major state health systems.
