QC for body fluid cell counts
Easy prep before use. Results are consistent. We just end up throwing 2-3 vials away from each package when they expire.

Hematology used for Bodyfluid cell count controls
This product is easy to use, we never have any quality control issues, and we use these with every bodyfluid sample that we have to manually count.

Quality control for manual cell counts on hemocytometer
Control is easy to use. I haven't heard from my sales rep, but I did with our previous sed rate analyzer. I rated 3 stars for the value because the package size is too large for our use. It usually expires before we use up the 6 bottles.

Hematology
Great product. We needed to start running a hemocytometer/cytocentrifuge control for manual cell counts and differentials. This is now required by our accrediting agency. We are pleased with the ease of use and assayed values that ensure our technical staff is performing testing accurately.

Used when manual cell counts are performed and/or crystal examination performed
Easy to use and handled exactly like patient samples. Like that cell count and crystal are all performed on the same controls.
