    摘要: A method for enumerating platelets within a blood sample is provided. The method includes the steps of: 1) depositing the sample into an analysis chamber adapted to quiescently hold the sample for analysis, the chamber defined by a first panel and a second panel, both of which panels are transparent; 2) admixing a colorant with the sample, which colorant is operative to cause the platelets to fluoresce upon exposure to one or more predetermined first wavelengths of light; 3) illuminating at least a portion of the sample containing the platelets at the first wavelengths; 4) imaging the sample, including producing image signals indicative of fluorescent emissions from the platelets, which fluorescent emissions have an intensity; 5) identifying the platelets by their fluorescent emissions, using the image signals; 6) determining an average fluorescent emission intensity value for the individual platelets identified within the sample; 7) identifying clumps of platelets within the sample using one or more of their fluorescent emissions, area, shape, and granularity; and 8) enumerating platelets within each platelet clump using the average fluorescent emission intensity value determined for the individual platelets within the sample.

    摘要: A urine sample is analyzed for urine chemistry, formed bodies, and rare event evidence, all in a single sample container and under low power magnification. The sample container includes a urine sample receiving chamber which is connected to a urine chemistry chamber, to a formed body isolation chamber, and to a rare events detection chamber, so that the urine can flow from the receiving chamber to the other three chambers. The container may also include a sterile chamber for receiving an auxiliary portion of the urine which may be used for further analysis by the clinician if necessary. The chemistry chamber contains a miniaturized urine dip stick which is scanned by an optical scanning instrument for color emissions. The formed body isolation chamber can be precoated with one or more stains, and is formed with a plurality of different through plane thicknesses whereby smaller formed bodies will be isolated in the smaller thickness regions of the chamber which the larger formed bodies cannot enter. The scanning instrument will scan the isolation chamber and can identify formed bodies by their characteristic light wave emission properties which result from the formed bodies exposure to the stains. The formed bodies can also be morphologically examined in the isolation chamber. The rare event detection chamber will include a component which will absorb essentially all of the water in the urine thus concentrating formed bodies on a surface in the chamber. This chamber can also be provided with one or more stains which will differentially highlight any rare events noted in the chamber by the scanning instrument. Rare events such as casts can be detected in this chamber.

    摘要: The specification discloses a fecal occult blood test device capable of determining whether the blood found during the test originated in the upper or lower gastrointestinal track. A fecal sample is applied to a test medium charged to be differentially attractive to blood components originating in the upper and lower gastrointestinal track respectively. A solvent is applied to the test specimen to cause differential migration of the blood components and an indicator is then applied to indicate the presence of the blood components, if any.

    摘要: Centrifuged material layer volume measurements are made in a transparent capillary tube containing an elongated float which expands the layers being measured. The extent of layer expansion will vary depending on the tube bore diameter and the float diameter. The tube bore diameter and float diameter for each tube/float pair are measured, and an indication of the difference between the two is marked on the tube. When the volume determinations are made, the measured difference between the tube bore diameter and the float diameter is taken into account before calculating actual layer volume malues.
