Patent number: 5895760Abstract: A three-phase suspension suitable for use as an erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) control having the following three components: (1) a synthetic plasma base, (2) an aggregating agent such as a high molecular weight polymer or combination of high molecular weight polymers, and (3) chemically fixed mammalian red blood cells. The control is designed to allow the user to monitor the accuracy and precision of analytical methods for determining the sedimentation rate of human erythrocytes in whole blood specimens. Chemical fixing of the red blood cells provides the ESR control with the capability of providing useful results in the presence of citrate and/or saline.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 1997Date of Patent: April 20, 1999Assignee: Hycor Biomedical, Inc.Inventors: Roulhwai Chen, Azra S. Zaidi

Patent number: RE33826Abstract: A microscope inspection slide including at least one examination chamber formed by bonding together a base plate and a cover plate. The base plate having a chamber floor surface raised above a deck surface on the base plate, and the cover plate having a roof surface with a depth control ridge positioned about a portion of the edge of the chamber roof surface. Bonding the cover plate to the base plate forms an examination chamber with the distance between the roof surface and floor surface maintained constant, and entrapped gases and excess fluid allowed to drain from the examination chamber through notches in the depth control ridge.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 1989Date of Patent: February 18, 1992Assignee: Hycor Biomedical, Inc.Inventor: Vance C. Mitchell
