Description
The Quick-Read™ Precision Cell Urinalysis Microscope Slide is designed to provide accuracy, uniformity and safety in the microscopic examination of urinary sediment. Made from optically clear acrylic, the slide features 10 chambers with integrated coverslips. Within each chamber there are 18 circles that are all together visible at 100x magnification. These premeasured circles contain specific volumes of urinary sediment within its circumference that allows for the easy calculation of cellular elements present in 1 mL of urine.
The system is a combination slide and cover slip of optically clear acrylic with ten separate chambers, each holding a standard volume of 6.3 uL. Ten processed and stained specimens can be read at a time. Each chamber contains 18 pre measured circles that contain specific volumes of urinary sediment within its circumference. This facilitates a convenient and rapid microscopic examination of the cellular elements in each specimen.
To apply the sample to the chamber, place a drop of well-mixed sediment (using Quick-Prep™, a tube and pipette system that isolates 1 mL of urine sediment for microscopic examination) into the scalloped area of a numbered chamber on the slide. Capillary action provides uniform distribution of sediment into the viewing chamber. Each chamber has overflow wells for excess urine to prevent cross contamination. Individual slides and specimens can be identified by marking the appropriate numbers on the extreme left and right side of the unit with your own identifying code using a pencil or other marking device. The use of Quick-Read™ provides accuracy, uniformity and safety in the microscopic examination of urinary sediment.
