MARIENFELD Counting Chamber with V-Slash
The MARIENFELD Counting Chamber with V-Slash is a precision laboratory instrument used for manually counting cells and particles in a liquid suspension under a microscope. Produced in Germany from high-grade optical glass, this heavy-duty hemocytometer incorporates a unique design feature that simplifies sample loading.
The V-Slash Loading Advantage
Standard hemocytometers require a highly practiced hand to inject samples perfectly into the narrow gap beneath the coverslip.
- Controlled Capillary Draw: The integrated V-slash notches act as precise funnel guides on the exterior loading edges. When a pipette tip is touched to the V-slash, surface tension pulls the fluid smoothly and evenly through the capillary gap.
- Anti-Overflow Safety: By managing the fluid intake velocity, the V-slash architecture drastically reduces the risk of sample overflow into the side isolation moats, preventing uneven cell settling and eliminating the need to clean and restart failed loads.
Key Features
- Integrated V-Slash: Cutouts on the sides allow quick, clean loading of the capillary gap.
- Overflow Protection: Design prevents fluid from spilling into adjacent areas or onto the microscope stage.
- Dual Grid System: Features two independent, micro-engraved counting areas for duplicate testing.
- Certified Quality: Manufactured to strict German DIN 12847 standards and carries the CE mark.
