Samples are applied directly to the slide and a coverslip is placed over the sample. One step process limits exposure to reagents and potentially harmful stains.
Each slide contains a dried layer of stain that allows for rapid visualization and differential cell assessment from whole blood and body fluids such as CSF, and urine samples.
CELL-VU® can also be used for World Health Organization and Kruger strict morphology sperm assessment from undiluted semen.
Directions for Use — Pre-Stained Morphology Slides
General chamber preparation for hematology testing.
- Apply a small drop (approximately ~2-4 microliters) of specimen on the center of the slide.
- Place the cover glass (24 x 24 mm or 24 x 40 mm) on top of the slide, exerting slight pressure on the coverglass.
- Allow slide to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before microscopic observation is made.
Expected Findings:
These slides are for evaluating sperm head/acrosome size, differentiation of white blood cells in peripheral blood and cytology of body fluids.
Warnings:
EDTA is the recommended anticoagulant for venous blood. Oxalae, flouride and heparinized blood are not suitable.
