Essentially used for counting blood cells, the Haemocytometer counting chamber is required for the microscopic manual cell counting of, erythrocytes (RBC, red blood cells), leukocytes (WBC, white blood cells), thrombocytes (PLT, platelets) and also sperm counts. Our Improved Neubauer counting chambers are manufactured to the highest standard in a piece of thermal and shock-resistant glass.
Neubauer Improved Haemacytometer Counting Chamber
Haemocytometer Description
An H-shaped moat forms either one or two counting areas, or plateaus. Each plateau features an etched grid or ruling. The ruled surface is either 0.1mm or 0.2mm below the cover glass, limiting the Volume of 1 Square mm of blood or fluid over a square mm at 0.1cu.mm or 0.2cu.mm respectively.
Contact of the flat, polished cover glass surfaces with the cover glass supports produces an exact volume of fluid over the counting area.
The difference in surface tension characteristics between the metallic surface on the chamber and the polished cover glass assures smooth capillarity for precise loading and more even cell distribution.
Spare counting chambers and coverslips are available separately.
In addition, we also supply a new range of disposable glass counting chambers manufactured by Bioanalytic GmbH.
Take a look at our New TIC Product Range…
TIC® is a single-use dilution test system for quick, easy, safe, and highly precise microscopic counting of erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes and reticulocytes in blood, and also leukocytes in synovial fluid.

The Vetlab veterinary refractometer is a lightweight, hand-held diagnostic instrument designed for fast, simple and inexpensive measurement of Serum/Plasma Protein and Urine Specific Gravity on samples from animals. This refractometer has a good quality, robust build and comfortable design, which ensures that it will give you many years of valuable, low-cost diagnostic testing.
Special Features
Importantly, this veterinary refractometer features temperature compensation calibration using a special adjustment screw to zero on distilled water at ambient temperature.
In addition, the Vetlab Refractometer has a large rubber eyepiece for comfort and focusing, a rubber hand grip end with three scales: covering the whole barrel for easy handling. It also features a high quality blue coloured prism engraved with three scales: For Serum Protein / Specific Gravity / Refractive Index and an integral sample cover lid.
McMaster counting slides are widely used for performing faecal worm egg counts (F.E.C’s). Faecal worm egg counts are performed on faeces samples mainly from large animals such as horses, sheep and cattle which normally harbour low levels of worms in their guts.
We Supply Three Types Of McMaster Counting Chambers
Vetlab McMaster counting chambers are made entirely of tough acrylic. The counting slide consists of a base slide upon which a smaller slide is fixed on top of three supports thereby forming two chambers.
On the underneath of the top slide over each chamber, a grid is printed in blue ink measuring exactly 10mm x 10mm divided by 5 vertical lines (forming 6 columns). The top slide is positioned exactly 1.5mm above the base slide so the counting area of each chamber holds 0.15 ml in volume.
Vetlab McMaster counting slides have some significant advantages compared to the conventional glass type
The counting slides/chambers are made from the strongest optical acrylic available — therefore, are more robust than glass.
The upper section is fused to the lower section by sonic welding rather than glue. This makes the slide more durable and as a result, avoids faecal residue being trapped between the pieces.
The 6 grid columns making counting faster as their width exactly match the width of field of view of the microscope at x40 and x100 magnification.
The upper section grids are printed in blue ink which lasts for some years with correct care. This allows the grid lines to be focused on more easily and worm eggs to be seen clearly underneath the grid lines.
Our Vetlab McMaster counting slides are less than one-third of the cost of a conventional glass slide, therefore making them exceptional value for money.
McMaster Counting Slide (2-Cell All Glass)
Our alternative counting slides are an almost identical design to our own Vetlab counting slide however, they are made of glass and the top slide and supports are glued together.
The counting area grids are etched into the glass (rather than printed) and the grid area is divided into 10 columns (rather than 6 columns). The counting volume is identical to the Vetlab counting slide.
McMaster Counting Slide (2-Cell Glass/Hybrid)
The Glass/Hybrid chamber is constructed of glass as the above slide however, the two glass sections are not glued together but supported with plastic structures.

Our digital clock-timer is ideal for laboratory use. The clock also has a timer, which has a count-up and count-down function. This is ideal for timing diagnostic tests. It has a magnetic back as well as a stand and is very simple to set-up and operate.
We have included a FREE AAA battery and the simple instructions for set-up are on the back of the packaging.
Hints and Tips
To clean the timer, use a soft, dry cloth or a cloth moistened in a solution of water and mild neutral detergent. Never use a thinner, benzene, alcohol, or similar agents to clean the timer.
Because the timer has a magnet on the back, it must be kept away from other items also containing a magnetic strip such as credit cards, audio, videotape, floppy disks and other items, which could be damaged by the magnetism of the timer.
Changing The Battery
When the display becomes dim or the alarm is not clear enough, please change the battery. The clock requires AAA batteries (x 1).
