    摘要: Centrifuged material layer measurements are made in an evacuated glass or clear plastic tube which contains a float. When possibly contaminated materials, such as blood, are being tested the use of the evacuated tube allows the measurements to be made without the technician being exposed to the blood. The tubes are large enough to hold approximately one ml of blood, and are filled with an inert gas at low pressure. Dimensional tolerances relative to those of a capillary tube are relaxed for the tube and float due to the larger sample capacity. The cell bands are stabilized by a layer of a flowable material which settles onto the plasma layer during centrifugation and forms a pellicle thereon.

    摘要: The device consists of a base sheet of impermeable plastic such as vinyl, or the like, and a guaiac stool receptor sheet adhesively secured thereto. The base sheet is sufficiently larger than the receptor sheet so to form an impermeable skirt which surrounds the receptor sheet so as to form an hermetic barrier protecting the receptor sheet on the underneath one of two of the devices when stacked one on top of the other. A performance/control monitor is included on the device. The monitor includes a peroxidatively active material such as hematin, or the like, which confirms the reactively of the guaiac-impregnated sheet, as well as the activity of the peroxide developing solution. The monitor material is kept out of reactive contact with the guaiac receptor sheet until the developer reagent is applied to the device. A stack of the devices is packed in a sealed container of plastic, or the like, so that the individual devices can be removed from the container one at a time. The devices are designed for use in the physician's office for reception of stool smears taken manually on a rubber glove or finger cot by the physician from patients.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for measuring antibody titers in a thin film sample in an automated system which does not require multiple dilutions. The system provides a simple method for creating an in-situ dilution within a sample analysis chamber without the use of any precision fluid-handling components, and further, to use the same principles to provide a wide range of sample dilutions within the chamber so as to obviate the need for additional dilution steps when dealing with samples possibly containing wide ranges of analyte concentrations.

The method includes the steps of: a) depositing the sample into an analysis chamber adapted to quiescently hold the sample for analysis, and the chamber has a known or determinable height extending between the interior surfaces of panels, which height is such that at least one red blood cell, or an aggregate of red blood cells, within the sample contacts both of the interior surfaces; b) admixing a supravital dye with the sample, which dye is operable to cause reticulin to fluoresce when excited by light of one or more predetermined wavelengths; c) imaging the sample using light that includes the one or more predetermined wavelengths that cause reticulin to fluoresce; d) imaging the sample using light that is absorbed by hemoglobin to produce values of optical density on a per image unit basis; and e) identifying reticulocytes within the sample using the image of the sample created with light that causes the dyed reticulin to fluoresce, and using the per image unit optical density values.
