    摘要: A biologic sample such as feces, sputum, cervical tissue, pleural fluids, exudates, cytologic specimens, or the like, is tested for the presence or absence of: ova; parasites; microorganisms; inflammatory, neoplastic tissue cells; or other target materials which are indicative of infestation, disease or infection. The sample is mixed with a buffer fluid and placed in a transparent tube which contains a volume-constricting cylindrical insert for gravimetric separation of components of the sample. The mixture is centrifuged, and the annular space between the insert and tube bore is examined under magnification for the presence of the target materials.

    摘要: Blood constituents are separated by centrifugation in a transparent tube which contains a float for physically elongating certain of the constituents. The centrifuged sample in the tube is positioned on a layer measuring device with which red cell and buffy coat constituent band heights can be measured in ambient light. The buffy coat constituent measurements are made under optical magnification. The measuring device has a mathematically derived red cell layer nomogram printed thereon, and a separate scale for measuring buffy coat constituent bands. Conversion tables are provided for converting the measured buffy coat constituent band lengths into constituent cell counts. The measuring device includes tube-engaging portions for properly positioning the tube during the measurements, and the red cell scale automatically compensates for the presence of the float and densification of red cells needed for proper banding.

    摘要: The method of correcting readings of cell counts in a centrifuged blood sample contained in a transparent tube which also contains a transparent cylindrical float. Light absorption measurements are made at different locations in the tube. A beam of light is directed through the tube and the float and a light absorption reading is taken. A light beam is also directed through the sample above the float and another absorption reading is taken. The ratio of the two readings is determined and compared to a target ratio that is precalculated from an ideal tube and float. Any deviations from the target ratio are proportional to correction factors which are applied to the cell readings taken. A colorant is added to the sample to impart the light absorption capability thereto.

    摘要: A whole blood sample is placed in a tube such as a capillary tube, with a plastic float. The float is axially elongated and has a specific gravity which causes it to float in the packed red blood cells when the sample is centrifuged in the tube. The hemoglobin concentration of the packed red blood cells is measured by measuring the depth that the float sinks into the red cell layer, and then the hemoglobin concentration of the blood is calculated. The hemoglobin can be measured in this manner because virtually the only red cell component which contributes density to the red cells is the hemoglobin. The hemoglobin concentration of the whole blood is calculated by multiplying the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration of the packed red blood cells by the packed cell volume % (hematocrit) of the whole blood. All of the necessary calculations may be performed by a preprogrammed microprocessor.

    摘要: In order to provide for a sharply defined line of demarcation between red cells and granulocytes in a centrifuged blood sample, the blood sample is drawn into a capillary tube. The bottom of the capillary tube is capped and the blood sample is centrifuged for a time sufficient to layer the blood sample in its constituent blood cell types. The capillary tube is then removed from the centrifuge and the top of the capillary tube is capped. The tube is then placed in the centrifuge inverted from its original orientation whereupon the sample is centrifuged again. Abnormally light red cells are thus trapped towards the bottom of the red cell column whereupon they cannot float up into the granulocyte band.

    摘要: A complex liquid, such as a biological liquid, is stratified, as by centrifugation in a tube, into constituent layers. The most dense or heaviest constituent layer is measured volumetrically by physically expanding the entire layer with a cylindrical float which is inserted in the tube and which occupies the portion of the tube also occupied by the constituent layer being measured. The axial extent of the expanded layer is measured to provide an indication of the volume of the layer being measured. The end of the tube proximate to the layer being measured contains a plug of a more dense material which is immiscible with the subject liquid and into which the float will settle during centrifugation. The float thus settles into the plug of dense material and "floats" therein so as to extend through the entirety of the layer being measured.

    摘要: A process for detecting parasites which are found in the blood of a host. A sample of blood is drawn into a capillary tube which contains a generally cylindrical mass having a specific gravity such that it will float in one of the cell layers when the sample is separated by centrifugation. The specific gravity of the mass is selected so as to cause the cylindrical mass to combine with the bore wall of the capillary tube to form a thin annular space in the capillary tube into which the parasites will be crowded, thus increasing the concentration of parasites in a restricted area of the centrifuged blood sample and rendering the parasites highly visible. A stain may be used to differentially color the parasites. One specific parasite which can be detected in this manner quickly and inexpensively is heartworm.
