Frequently asked questions

Is the counter built for durability and stability?

Yes, the Unico Differential Counter is specifically engineered for rigorous clinical laboratory use, prioritizing both durability and operational stability.

  • Durable Construction: The counter is housed in a robust, chemical-resistant plastic case. This material ensures the unit can withstand routine use and allows for easy cleaning and disinfection.
  • Operational Stability: It features a stable, wide base equipped with integrated non-slip rubber feet. This design firmly anchors the counter, preventing movement or slippage during manual counting procedures.
What features do the 5-key and 8-key models include?

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:

  • Audible Signal Bell: An automatic signal bell rings when a total of 100 cells has been counted, signaling the completion of the standard differential count threshold.
  • Totalizer Window: This dedicated window clearly displays the running total of all cells counted.
  • Integrated Reference Chart: A white blood cell maturation series picto-strip chart is conveniently located above the key windows for quick visual reference during counting.
  • Dual Reset Knobs: These models feature two knobs for convenient resetting of the counting mechanism.
Does this counter require electrical power?

No, the Unico Differential Counter is a fully manual, mechanical instrument. It requires no electrical power source or batteries to operate. This mechanical design ensures maximum simplicity and reliability for use in clinical laboratory settings.

What is the purpose of the signal bell on the 5-key and 8-key models?

The signal bell on the 5-key and 8-key models rings when 100 cells have been counted. This feature helps users keep track of their progress and ensures accurate counting during manual cell differentiation.

Is the housing durable and chemical-resistant?

Yes, the Unico Differential Counter is built for rigorous clinical use, featuring high-quality construction:

  • Durable and Resistant: The counter casing is made from a durable, chemical-resistant plastic, ensuring longevity and resistance to common laboratory reagents.
  • Easy to Maintain: This robust housing allows for straightforward cleaning and disinfection protocols.
  • Stable Operation: The unit is designed with a stable, wide base and integrated rubber feet to prevent any movement or slippage during counting procedures.
Is a helpful WBC maturation chart included?

Yes, a white blood cell maturation series picto-strip chart is included to assist with differential counting. This reference chart is conveniently integrated above the key windows for quick reference.

However, this feature is exclusive to the more advanced models:

  • 5-Key Model (#L-BC6)
  • 8-Key Model (#L-BC9)

The 2-Key Model (#L-BC3) does not include this integrated chart.

Which versatile key configurations are offered?

The Unico Differential Counter is available in three versatile configurations, designed to match different clinical laboratory counting requirements:

  • 2-Key Model (L-BC3): This is the basic configuration, featuring 2 counting keys and a single reset knob.
  • 5-Key Model (L-BC6): This enhanced model offers 5 counting keys and dual reset knobs. It includes advanced features such as a totalizer window, an audible signal bell (activates when 100 cells are counted), and an integrated white blood cell maturation series chart.
  • 8-Key Model (L-BC9): This comprehensive configuration provides 8 counting keys and dual reset knobs. Like the 5-Key model, it includes the totalizer window, the 100-count signal bell, and the integrated reference chart.
Is the counter stable during use?

The Unico Differential Counter features a wide base with rubber feet, ensuring excellent stability during operation and preventing accidental slips or movements on laboratory surfaces.

Does it have a durable, easy-to-clean housing?

Yes, the Unico Differential Counter features a durable, chemical-resistant plastic case housing. This design ensures it can withstand harsh laboratory environments and is very easy to clean and disinfect, promoting hygiene and longevity in clinical settings.

Which models include a convenient totalizer window?

The 5-key and 8-key models of the Unico Differential Counter are equipped with a convenient totalizer window. This feature helps laboratories keep track of the overall cell count during manual cell differentiation.
