H0612 Fixed Angle Rotor Microcomputer Control PROMED DL-1002 Digital Low Speed Medical Blood Centrifuge
The smear of a clinical specimen provides essential laboratory information that is used to make therapeutic decisions. Clinically, cytocentrifuge preparations showed greater sensitivity for culture-positive specimens and a closer correlation with the CFU per milliliter than HSC did, resulting in a greater ability to treat patients with specific therapies. In addition, analysts needed to examine only a 6-mm-diameter area on the slide, cells and microbes were somewhat larger and more regular in appearance, and smears stained more uniformly. Because of the increased clinical and laboratory utility of the cytocentrifuge, its use is recommended in clinical microbiology laboratories for all sterile body fluid specimens.
