Cell poor fluid cytology: Synovial fluid
Manual Count
This manual evaluation uses a Cytospin slide made post addition of hyaluronidase, with a modified Giemsa stain, and assessed by a certified clinical pathologist to support nonclical research studies that need to analyze the synovial fluid.
Hemacytometer Manual Count
This assay, conducted by certified medical technologists, uses a Hemacytometer cell counter to count red and white blood cells (RBC/WBC). Hyaluronidase is added to the sample to allow for analysis.
