Product Name – R.B.C. Diluting Fluid (Gower’s) Quantity/Pack Size – 500 ml Form – Liquid Solution Grade – Laboratory Grade Application – Red Blood Cell Counting, Hematology, Microscopic Analysis

Product Overview

R.B.C. Diluting Fluid (Gower’s) is an indispensable solution formulated for precise and reliable red blood cell (R.B.C.) counting in diverse laboratory settings. This specialized diluent is meticulously prepared to ensure optimal conditions for microscopic analysis, making it a cornerstone for hematology and diagnostic procedures where accuracy is paramount. The carefully balanced isotonic properties of Gower’s fluid are crucial; they prevent the osmotic lysis or crenation of red blood cells, thus preserving their natural morphology. This preservation is vital for obtaining accurate and consistent cell counts, fundamental in various research, quality control, and general laboratory applications.

The sophisticated formulation of Gower’s R.B.C. Diluting Fluid effectively prevents the agglutination of red blood cells. This ensures that individual cells remain uniformly dispersed and easily distinguishable under the microscope, which is critical for reducing counting errors during both manual and semi-automated enumeration. Its clear, particulate-free composition enhances optical clarity, allowing for sharper visualization and more confident interpretation of results. Crafted under stringent quality control standards, our R.B.C. Diluting Fluid (Gower’s) offers exceptional purity, stability, and batch-to-batch consistency. This commitment to quality guarantees dependable performance across all experiments and analytical tasks. Designed for practical use and long-term storage, it provides a trustworthy and essential reagent for all laboratory professionals, researchers, and students who require precise and reproducible red blood cell enumeration. Its reliable performance supports critical analyses with confidence.

FAQs

1. What is the primary use of Gower’s R.B.C. Diluting Fluid?

Gower’s R.B.C. Diluting Fluid is primarily used in hematology for the accurate dilution of blood samples to facilitate precise manual or semi-automated counting of red blood cells under a microscope.

2. How does Gower’s Fluid prevent R.B.C. lysis?

Gower’s Fluid is formulated to be isotonic with red blood cells. This balanced osmotic pressure prevents water from moving into or out of the cells, thereby preventing them from lysing (bursting) or crenating (shrinking).

3. What are the recommended storage conditions for this diluting fluid?

For optimal stability and shelf life, it is recommended to store Gower’s R.B.C. Diluting Fluid at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, and in its original tightly sealed container.

4. Can this fluid be used with automated cell counters?

While primarily designed for manual cell counting methods, specific formulations of Gower’s fluid might be compatible with certain automated systems. Always check the instrument’s manufacturer guidelines for compatibility with diluting fluids.

5. Why is the quality of diluting fluid important for blood cell counting?

High-quality diluting fluid ensures accurate, consistent, and reliable cell counts by maintaining cell integrity, preventing agglutination, and providing optical clarity, which is crucial for precise diagnostic and research outcomes.
