General description

Tuerk′s solution - for leukocytes counting, is a ready-to-use solution used for human-medical cell diagnosis and serves the purpose of the hematological investigation of sample material of human origin in hematological specimen materials. The solution serves the purpose of the manual semiquantitative determination of leukocytes in fresh venous, anticoagulated whole blood using a counting chamber.
The basis of all counting methods is the dilution and preparation of a blood sample of known volume. The erythrocytes are hemolyzed by the acetic acid present in Tuerk′s solution and the leukocyte nuclei are stained blue-violet by the dye. The required cell type in a defined volume is counted and the number of cells per microliter of blood is then calculated.
The 100ml bottle of Tuerks solution will provide approx. 10 applications. Tuerk′s solution is an IVD product and CE registered.For more details, please see instructions for use (IFU).
