The hemocytometer slide is a vital laboratory instrument used to manually count cells such as red and white blood cells, platelets, yeast, or sperm under a microscope. It is a thick glass slide featuring an etched grid in its center and precisely defined volume chambers, making it ideal for quantitative cell counting in clinical diagnostics and research applications.
Made from high-quality optical glass, the hemocytometer slide is durable and offers excellent clarity for microscopic examination. The ruled grid, usually the Neubauer or Improved Neubauer design, ensures accuracy in cell concentration calculations. The slide is typically used with a coverslip and sample diluent to facilitate even distribution of the sample.
Its accuracy and ease of use make it indispensable in hematology, microbiology, IVF labs, and cell culture monitoring. It can be used repeatedly after proper cleaning and sterilization, offering cost-effective and reliable performance.
