What features do the 5-key and 8-key models include?
<p>The 5-key (L-BC6) and 8-key (L-BC9) Unico Differential Counters are equipped with several enhanced features compared to the 2-key model, designed to streamline clinical laboratory counting:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Audible Signal Bell:</strong> An automatic signal bell rings when a total of <strong>100 cells</strong> has been counted, signaling the completion of the standard differential count threshold.</li>
<li><strong>Totalizer Window:</strong> This dedicated window clearly displays the running total of all cells counted.</li>
<li><strong>Integrated Reference Chart:</strong> A white blood cell maturation series picto-strip chart is conveniently located above the key windows for quick visual reference during counting.</li>
<li><strong>Dual Reset Knobs:</strong> These models feature two knobs for convenient resetting of the counting mechanism.</li>

</ul>
Does this counter require electrical power?
<p>No, the Unico Differential Counter is a <strong>fully manual, mechanical instrument</strong>. It requires <strong>no electrical power source or batteries</strong> to operate. This mechanical design ensures maximum simplicity and reliability for use in clinical laboratory settings.</p>
What is the purpose of the signal bell on the 5-key and 8-key models?
<p>The signal bell on the 5-key and 8-key models rings when <strong>100 cells have been counted</strong>. This feature helps users keep track of their progress and ensures accurate counting during manual cell differentiation.</p>
Is the housing durable and chemical-resistant?
<p>Yes, the Unico Differential Counter is built for rigorous clinical use, featuring high-quality construction:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Durable and Resistant:</strong> The counter casing is made from a <strong>durable, chemical-resistant plastic</strong>, ensuring longevity and resistance to common laboratory reagents.</li>
<li><strong>Easy to Maintain:</strong> This robust housing allows for straightforward cleaning and disinfection protocols.</li>
<li><strong>Stable Operation:</strong> The unit is designed with a stable, wide base and integrated rubber feet to prevent any movement or slippage during counting procedures.</li>

Is a helpful WBC maturation chart included?
<p>Yes, a <strong>white blood cell maturation series picto-strip chart</strong> is included to assist with differential counting. This reference chart is conveniently integrated above the key windows for quick reference.</p>
<p>However, this feature is exclusive to the more advanced models:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>5-Key Model (#L-BC6)</strong></li>
<li><strong>8-Key Model (#L-BC9)</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>The 2-Key Model (#L-BC3) does not include this integrated chart.</p>

Which versatile key configurations are offered?
<p>The Unico Differential Counter is available in three versatile configurations, designed to match different clinical laboratory counting requirements:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>2-Key Model (L-BC3):</strong> This is the basic configuration, featuring 2 counting keys and a single reset knob.</li>
<li><strong>5-Key Model (L-BC6):</strong> This enhanced model offers 5 counting keys and dual reset knobs. It includes advanced features such as a <strong>totalizer window</strong>, an audible <strong>signal bell</strong> (activates when 100 cells are counted), and an integrated white blood cell maturation series chart.</li>
<li><strong>8-Key Model (L-BC9):</strong> This comprehensive configuration provides 8 counting keys and dual reset knobs. Like the 5-Key model, it includes the <strong>totalizer window</strong>, the <strong>100-count signal bell</strong>, and the integrated reference chart.</li>
