CenSlide 2000 Urinalysis System Page 1 - 2
The CenSlide 2000 Centrifuge is microprocessor-controlled
to automatically spin CenSlide tubes for a preprogrammed
time and speed. At the end of the centrifuge cycle, the urine
sediment is redistributed evenly across the viewing area of
the CenSlide tube, completely ready for microscopic analysis.
The CenSlide tube inserts directly into a CenSlide Tube
Holder which is located on the microscope platform. The
CenSlide Tube Holder positions each CenSlide tube in the
same place on the microscope. Once you focus on the
first CenSlide tube each succeeding tube will automatically
be in focus.
The urine sediment is easily visualized and counted through
its patented transparent tip, and correlates exceptionally well
with conventional methods.
1.1 CenSlide 2000 Centrifuge
The CenSlide 2000 Centrifuge (Figure 1.2) is used
exclusively with the CenSlide tubes to provide a rapid and
accurate urinalysis. It automatically spins to the appropriate
g-force, shuts off, and
flicks the CenSlide tubes
viewing area to ensure
even distribution of the
sediment.
