The C-Chip is a disposable plastic chamber used for blood cell (Erythrocyte, Leukocyte) counting. It consists of surface-patterned two enclosed chambers with two ports for sample injection. The DHC-N01 grid pattern is exactly same as the Neubauer Improved. It consists of 9 large squares, each measuring 1 x 1 mm, and the depth of the chamber is 0.1 mm. Each square has a total volume of 0.1 mm3 or 10-4 cm3 (Fig. 1). The central square is divided into 25 small squares with triple lines and four corner squares are divided into 16 small squares.
A collection of reagents and other associated materials intended to be used for the qualitative and/or quantitative determination of one or multiple whole blood cell parameters [also known as complete blood count (CBC)] in a clinical specimen using a manual, semi-automated or automated cell count method. Test components may include white cell count and differential, haemoglobin determination, red cell count, red cell characterization and calculation of red cell parameters, and/or platelet count.
