DISPOSABLE APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING BLOOD CELL COUNTS

摘要

A container for holding a biologic fluid sample for analysis is provided which includes a chamber (12) and a label (14). The chamber (12) includes a first wall (26), a transparent second wall (28), and a plurality of features including features spatially located within the chamber (12). The transparent second wall (28) permits a fluid sample quiescently residing within the chamber (12) to be imaged through the second wall (28). The plurality of features, including those spatially located within the chamber, are operable to enable the analysis of the biologic fluid. The label (14) directly or indirectly contains information regarding the features and the spatial location of the features within the chamber (12). The sample is analyzed by an analytical device that utilizes the information communicated through the label (14).
