McKesson Precision Cell Urinalysis Microscope Slide - 10-Chamber, Optically Clear Acrylic (177-3805)

Precision Urinalysis Microscope Slide for Accurate Cellular Analysis

The McKesson Precision Cell Urinalysis Microscope Slide delivers exceptional accuracy and efficiency for urinary sediment analysis in clinical laboratories, hospital pathology departments, physician office labs, and diagnostic testing facilities. Engineered from optically clear acrylic with precision-molded chambers and counting circles, this advanced microscope slide streamlines urinalysis workflows while ensuring consistent, reproducible results for cellular element quantification.

Advanced Design and Construction

• Optically Clear Acrylic Material: Manufactured from premium-grade optically clear acrylic that provides superior light transmission, exceptional clarity, and distortion-free visualization of urinary sediment components under microscopic examination
• Ten-Chamber Configuration: Features ten individual chambers, each precisely engineered to hold a standard volume of 6.3 microliters (µL) of urine specimen, ensuring consistent sample volumes across all testing chambers for reliable comparative analysis
• Integrated Counting Circles: Each chamber contains 18 precisely positioned counting circles that are simultaneously visible at 100x magnification, facilitating efficient cellular enumeration without repositioning or refocusing
• Premeasured Volume Circles: The counting circles are calibrated to contain specific, standardized volumes of urinary sediment within their circumference, enabling direct calculation of cellular elements present per milliliter of urine without complex mathematical conversions

Clinical Applications and Benefits

Essential for comprehensive urinalysis testing including red blood cell counts, white blood cell enumeration, epithelial cell identification, bacteria quantification, crystal analysis, and cast detection. The standardized chamber volumes and counting circle design eliminate variability associated with traditional hemocytometer methods, improving inter-technologist consistency and reducing result discrepancies across testing shifts and laboratory personnel.

Enhanced Workflow Efficiency

The ten-chamber design allows simultaneous processing of multiple patient specimens or replicate testing of individual samples, significantly increasing laboratory throughput and productivity. The pre-calibrated counting circles eliminate time-consuming manual calculations and reduce mathematical errors, allowing laboratory technicians to rapidly quantify cellular elements and generate accurate urinalysis reports. The standardized format supports quality control protocols and proficiency testing requirements.

Precision Measurement and Accuracy

Each counting circle is precisely manufactured to contain exact volumes of urinary sediment, ensuring that cellular element counts can be directly extrapolated to standard reporting units (cells per milliliter or cells per high-power field). This precision engineering eliminates the variability and subjectivity associated with traditional counting chamber methods, improving diagnostic accuracy and supporting evidence-based clinical decision-making.

Optical Clarity and Visualization

The optically clear acrylic construction provides exceptional light transmission characteristics comparable to glass microscope slides while offering superior durability and break resistance. The material's refractive index is optimized for brightfield microscopy, ensuring sharp, high-contrast visualization of cellular elements, crystals, casts, and other urinary sediment components. The smooth, uniform surface prevents artifacts and optical distortions that could compromise diagnostic interpretation.

Multiple Configuration Options

Available in two specialized configurations to meet diverse laboratory needs: 10-Chamber Gridded format featuring precision grid patterns for systematic scanning and cellular localization, and 10-Chamber with Counting Circles design optimized for rapid quantitative analysis. Both configurations maintain the same high-quality acrylic construction and standardized chamber volumes for consistent performance.

Quality Control and Standardization

The standardized chamber volumes and counting circle dimensions support rigorous quality control protocols, proficiency testing programs, and laboratory accreditation requirements. The consistent design facilitates method validation, establishes reference ranges, and enables meaningful comparison of results across different testing sessions, technologists, and laboratory locations.

Cost-Effective Laboratory Solution

The durable acrylic construction provides excellent value compared to traditional glass slides while offering superior break resistance and handling safety. The multi-chamber design maximizes testing efficiency per slide, reducing per-test costs and minimizing waste. The precision-molded construction ensures consistent performance across production batches, supporting reliable long-term laboratory operations.
