Pre-Stained Morphology Slides DRM-900

These slides are used for the staining of spermatozoa, blood, CSF, and urine cytology. Each slide contains a dried layer of stain that once in contact with cells, facilitates morphology assessment.  Cell-VU® provides cleaner and clearer slides for rapid cellular visualization and differential cell assessment.

CELL-VU® Pre-stained Morphology slides combine conventional microscope slides with a proprietary combination of methylene blue and cresyl violet stains into a single, ready-to-use device.

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.

CELL-VU® is used for World Health Organization and Kruger strict morphology sperm assessment from undiluted semen.

Product Benefits

Disposability

Cell-VU® products are disposable. To date, there are no other disposable counting chambers available for this market with the Cell-VU® grid pattern. All other forms of manual cell counting are performed via non-disposable systems. These non-disposable systems consist of glass chambers, which require cleaning after each use, are at risk of shattering, and are considered potential occupational hazards. Using the disposable Cell-VU® product increases accuracy and eliminates the occupational hazards associated with tainted broken glass.

Safety

With growing concerns over infectious diseases, clinical labs move towards disposability wherever possible. Disposability minimizes clinician exposure to bodily fluids and creates a safer work environment. In fact, OSHA mandates that labs limit exposure to bodily fluids whenever possible. Using the disposable Cell-VU® product significantly decreases the chances of exposure to unsafe bodily fluids.

Value

Disposable products save time and money. Reusable slides must be cleaned between uses. Associated labor costs are dramatically cut with the introduction of disposable slides. Furthermore, Cell-VU®’s pre-stained slides take an entire step out of the testing process. Before this revolutionary introduction, all body fluid samples were separately stained before viewing. Extra steps slow testing and create unnecessary added costs. Using Cell-VU® eliminates extra steps, thus saving time and money. 

Accuracy

Extensive testing and independent verification by numerous internationally acclaimed researchers have verified that Cell-VU®’s counting chambers produce more accurate results. Specifically, the grid pattern on the DRM-600 Sperm Counting facilitate specific, accurate results for the cell type counted. Cell-VU®’s variations of grid patterns distinctively address the needs of fertility labs for maximum effectiveness and fewer lab errors.

Simpler and easier to use

All Cell-VU® coverslips are thin enough to use under high magnification without special adapters or reticles. Unlike other products, Cell-VU® slides with grids do not necessitate the use of other equipment or adaptors.

Step 1

 

Apply a small drop (approximately 2-4 microliters) of specimen on the center of the slide.

NOTE: EDTA is the recommended anticoagulant for venous blood. Flouride oxalate and heparinized blood are NOT suitable.

Step 2

 

Place the coverglass (24 x 24 mm or 24 x 40 mm) on top of the slide, exerting slight pressure on the coverglass.

Step 3 

 

Allow the slide to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before microscopic observation is made.  The slides are used for evaluating sperm head/acrosome size, differentiation of white blood cells in peripheral blood and cytology of body fluids.
