Pipet filling chamber on slide - أطلس مختبرات العرب

Using a plastic or polypropylene transfer pipet, mount a drop of the urine in the counting chamber of the prepared, commercial plastic slides. Glass slides and coverslips are not recommended because they do not produce reliable, consistent results. However, if your laboratory uses them, then pipet an exact volume, e.g. 20 µl, onto the slide using an automatic pipet and polypropylene tip. Avoid using glass pipets when mounting the urine sediment as elements like casts tend to cling to the glass surface. After counting the elements in the sediment, you may calculate the number of elements per milliliter. In situations where less urine is centrifuged or a greater quantity is left on the sediment, the count may need to be adjusted through calculation so that you consistently report the number of elements per standard quantity (the amount of sediment that you are examining).
