Great product for training students and new techs!
Application Area:Body fluid cell count control
"This supply came in very handy when it came to training techs and students on manual body fluids and crystals! It gives great bang for your buck because it has WBCs, RBCs, CPPD Crystals, and MSU Crystals all in one little kit. It is also good for competency checks."
Cell-Chex is a cerebrospinal and body fluid manual procedural control for red blood cell (RBC) and white blood cell (WBC) counts, urate and CPPD crystal identification and white blood cell differentiation. The white blood cells in Cell-Chex are human to better mimic patient samples. When stained in the same manner as a patient sample, the technologist can differentiate granulocyte, lymphocyte and monocyte populations. The differential assay offers polymorphonuclear and mononuclear values and 5-part white cell differential values.
It is the only manual body fluid control that contains crystals to aid in crystal identification in synovial fluid samples. Crystals can be easily identified without interfering with RBC and WBC counts using a hemacytometer or WBC differential counts using a cytocentrifuge smear.
