DIAGNOSTIC
METHODS: Concentrations
What
semi-automated methods are available to read the concentration
sediments?
The
traditional sampling approach using pipettes and the preparation
of wet smears using glass slides and coverslips can be replaced
with a semi-automated sampling and viewing system from DiaSys
Corporation. The specimen is drawn through tubing from the
mixed concentrated stool sediment into two viewing chambers
that fit onto the microscope stage. The quality of the glass
is excellent and organism morphology can be easily seen within
the viewing chambers. One of the benefits of this approach
is the consistency of the stool preparation within the glass
chamber; the problem with "too thick or too thin"
coverglass preparations has been eliminated. |
