Urinary Sediment Stain (Modified S&M)

Intended use:

Urinary analysis is one of the three routines in clinical examination and widely used in clinic. Urinary sediment test, as the most common examination for urinary analysis, is mainly used to identify pathological components in urine including cells, casts, crystal, bacteria and parasites. It is of great value for diagnosis, orientation, identification and prognosis estimation of urinary system disease.

 

Principle:

SM Urinary sediment stain is the most widely-used method. Directly add stain into urinary sediment, and the components in urinary sediment can be easily identified based on their distinct shape and structure. Compared with the traditional SM stain, this modified BASO Urinary sediment stain offers the benefits of shorter staining time and longer storage stability at room temperature.
