The CELL-VU CBC is a disposable safety hemacytometer for use with all manual cell-counting procedures, including CSF, sperm, urine, and blood for complete blood counts (CBCs). The CELL-VU consists of a standard (3 x 1 inch) specially designed glass slide and two coverslips. Each coverslip is reverse laser etched, resulting in a bold, easy-to-view grid area. The 3 x 3 mm grid is a modified pattern of the Neubauer ruling, divided into nine 1 x 1 mm counting areas. The main counting areas are subdivided to accommodate the quantitation of specific cell types. Each CELL-VU slide is dual-chambered, providing for two determinations per sample, or two samples per slide. The printed 0.50 µL CELL-VU surface creates 20 µm deep chambers producing a monolayer of cells for precise and accurate counting.
     The disposability of CELL-VU eliminates cleaning, reduces technologist time, and improves technologist safety by minimizing exposure to potentially infectious body fluids in compliance with OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards.
