The Quick-Read™ Precision Cell microscope slide is designed to provide accuracy, uniformity and safety in the microscopic examination of urinary sediment.  Made from optically clear acrylic, the slide features 10 chambers with integrated coverslips. Within each chamber there are 18 circles that are all together visible at 100x magnification. These premeasured circles contain specific volumes of urinary sediment within its circumference that allows for the easy calculation of cellular elements present in 1mL of urine.

The Quick-Read™ Precision Grid microscope slide is designed to provide accuracy, uniformity and safety in the microscopic examination of urinary sediment. Made from optically clear acrylic for optimal viewing, the slide consists of ten chambers. Each chamber has a grid with 81 well defined, pre-measured squares. Each pre-measured square holds a specific volume of urinary sediment which facilitates the convenient and rapid microscopic examination of the cellular elements in each specimen.

The system is a combination slide and coverslip of optically clear acrylic with ten separate chambers, each holding a standard volume of 6.3uL. Ten processed and stained specimens can be read at a time. Each chamber contains 18 premeasured circles that contain specific volumes of urinary sediment within its circumference. This facilitates a convenient and rapid microscopic examination of the cellular elements in each specimen.

To apply the sample to the chamber, place a drop of well-mixed sediment (using Quick-Prep™, a tube and pipette system that isolates 1mL of urine sediment for microscopic examination) into the scalloped area of a numbered chamber on the slide. Capillary action provides uniform distribution of sediment into the viewing chamber. Each chamber has overflow wells for excess urine to prevent cross contamination. Individual slides and specimens can be identified by marking the appropriate numbers on the extreme left and right side of the unit with your own identifying code using a pencil or other marking device. The use of Quick-Read™ provides accuracy, uniformity and safety in the microscopic examination of urinary sediment.

Quick-Read urinalysis microscope slides like the ones from Globe Scientific are specialized diagnostic tools used in medical laboratories and clinics to examine urine samples for various health conditions. These slides are designed to provide a quick and convenient method for analyzing urine specimens, allowing healthcare professionals to gather valuable information about a patient's health. 
 
The Quick-Read urinalysis microscope slides consist of a transparent glass slide with a series of chambers or wells. Each chamber is labeled with specific areas for different tests, including chemical analysis, sediment examination, and microscopic evaluation. The slides are usually pre-treated with reagents or stains to enhance the visibility of certain components in the urine sample. 
 
When performing a urinalysis using Quick-Read microscope slides, a healthcare professional collects a urine sample from the patient and carefully places a small amount onto the designated areas on the slide. The sample is distributed evenly across the chambers to ensure accurate results. 
 
The chemical analysis section of the slide helps determine the presence of various substances in the urine, such as glucose, protein, ketones, blood, bilirubin, urobilinogen, and pH level. This information can provide insights into conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, liver dysfunction, and urinary tract infections. 
 
The sediment examination section allows for the microscopic evaluation of the urine sample. After the urine has settled, the healthcare professional examines the sediment under a microscope to identify and quantify different elements, such as red and white blood cells, bacteria, yeast, crystals, casts, and epithelial cells. These findings can assist in diagnosing urinary tract infections, kidney disorders, bladder stones, and other urinary system-related conditions. 
 
Quick-Read urinalysis microscope slides offer several advantages over traditional methods of urine analysis. Firstly, they provide a standardized platform for testing, reducing variability in results. They also streamline the process by combining multiple tests on a single slide, saving time and resources. The pre-treated slides eliminate the need for manual staining or reagent addition, making the procedure more efficient. 
 
Furthermore, these microscope slides facilitate easier documentation and interpretation of results. The labeled chambers ensure that each component of the urinalysis is clearly identified, minimizing the chances of errors or misinterpretations. This makes the slides particularly valuable for healthcare professionals who require quick and accurate results for timely diagnosis and treatment decisions. 
 
In summary, Globe Scientific Quick-Read urinalysis microscope slides are valuable tools in the field of diagnostic medicine. They offer a convenient and efficient method for analyzing urine samples, providing healthcare professionals with vital information about a patient's health. By combining multiple tests on a single slide, these specialized slides enhance the speed and accuracy of urinalysis, leading to better patient care and management of various urinary system-related conditions.
