Makler Sperm Counting Chamber

UNIQUE ADVANTAGES

• Sperm count performed from undiluted specimen.
• The number of spermatozoa counted in any strip of 10 squares of the grid indicates their concentration in millions/mL.
• The depth of 10 microns eliminates blurring and allows sperm to move freely. The applied sample is observed in one focal plane.
• The grid is in the cover glass. No need to insert a grid into the microscope eye piece and remove it when not required. 
• Reusable - Easily cleaned with a non-bleach disinfectant solution.
• Observation of color fringes at the four contact points provides a test for accuracy. The cover glass can never be raised by the applied sample.
• Repeated use with complete accuracy without calibration
• Manufactured by state-of-the-art precision engineering. Checked individually by laser beam for precision and accuracy.
