These cell counting chambers are moulded from a single piece of thermal and shock-resistant glass.

• Both one cell and two cell counting chambers are available
• Rhodium coated chambers have metallised platforms
• Standard chambers have optically polished platforms

An H-shaped moat forms either one or two counting areas, or plateaus. Each plateau features an etched grid or ruling. 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.
