For use by casa and retical users. For sperm counts in undiluted specimens. The CELL-VU Cytometer consists of a standard (3 x 1"), specially-designed glass slide and a fixed coverslip. Disposal of the entire apparatus eliminates cleaning and minimizes clinician exposure to body fluids. The slide consists of two chambers (for dual determinations), each with a depth of 20 µm. This depth is optimal for sperm cells to form in a monolayer, movement is unencumbered, motility can be assessed and counts are made easily.

Slowly pipette one drop (approximately 2- 4 microliters) of specimen. Place the specimen at the edge of one of the sampling areas (figure A). The specimen will fill the counting area by capillary action (figure B & C). Two tests can be performed using one Cell-VU® slide. |
