The CenSlide 2000 Urinalysis System is a closed system
used in performing microscopic examinations of urine.
For In vitro diagnostic use.
1.0 General
The CenSlide 2000 Urinalysis System reduces exposure
to biohazardous materials and helps laboratories control
inherent variations in conventional microscopic analysis by
standardizing urine sediment volume, centrifuge conditions,
and technician technique. Unique in its simplicity, this
advanced system is easy to use yet can dramatically
reduce the number of steps and time required to process
and review a specimen.
The CenSlide 2000 Urinalysis System includes the
CenSlide 2000 Centrifuge and CenSlide tubes (Figure 1.1).
The patented CenSlide tube is both a centrifuge tube and
microscope slide, eliminating the need for slides, coverslips
and specimen transfer. Once a urine sample is dispensed
into a CenSlide tube and the cap is put in place, you never
need to open the tube again; greatly reducing the possibility
of spills and contamination.
