2.7 Sample Analysis
1. Open the lid and remove
the CenSlide tubes.
2. Place the CenSlide tubes
into the StakRak™
horizontally (Figure 2.5).
3. Place a CenSlide Holder
onto the microscope
stage.
4. Place a CenSlide tube
into the CenSlide Holder
and position its viewing
area under the micro-
scope objective
(Figure 2.6).
5. Focus on the viewing area using the microscope’s low
power (10x) objective and proceed with the microscopic
examination.

Allow the urine sediment in
the tubes to settle for at least
one minute prior to viewing.
Note: Occasionally, uneven distribution of the sediment may
occur due to aggregates or clumps of debris (mucous, cells,
etc.) forming around the edges of the CenSlide tube’s viewing
area. When this occurs, count only the fields where elements
are evenly dispersed. Avoid counting areas inside the clumps.
