A diluting fluid that hemolyzes all red cells and stains white cells for easy differentiation.
CONTENTS: Glacial Acetic Acid, Crystal Violet
This solution is made from certified dyes.
FOR IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE ONLY.
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE: Cell counts on spinal fluid should be made within 30 minutes after withdrawal of the specimen to avoid cell disintegration. Draw the specimen to the 1.0 mark (WBC pipette). Draw the diluting fluid to mark 11.0, producing a dilution of 1:10. Mix, discard one third, and place a drop on each side of the counting chamber. Count the cells in five squares. 1 sq. mm each (four corner squares and the central square), in both drops. Add the result of all 10 squares counted. Multiply by 10 to obtain the number of cells in 1 cmm. Use high power for a differential WBC count.
NOTE: In some cases, to prevent possible coagulation of the spinal fluid due to the high protein-blood specimen, aqueous sodium citrate may be added in 1:100 dilution. Oxalates are unsatisfactory because the crystals interfere with counting.
