CYTOTOOL: Microscopy Devices

The CytoTool family of devices have been used for cell microscopy for decades. Cytonix chamber slides are used for sperm cell motility analyses. These devices have been optimized for human, bovine, equine and other mammalian cell analyses. These disposable 75 X 25 mm glass slides with fixed coverslips have 20-micron depth chambers. CytoTool slides are compatible with most CASA and used to assess total, motile and progressive spermatozoa counts and concentrations. CytoTool slides are non-toxic to cells. Each slide is quality control tested to assure 20-micron depth chambers. Slides with four, six, and seven chambers are available.

CytoTool are used in clinical microbiology labs for diagnostic microscopy. Poly-lysine coated wells allow good cell bonding to the well-surface without heat treatment, methanol fixation and other adhesion promoters.
