Accu-Beads

What are accu-beads+? Accubeads+ consist of three known concentrations of latex beads (3, 18 and 35 M/ml) suspended in an aqueous solution. Similar in size to human sperm, the Accu-Beads+ have been developed to confirm accurate counting procedures used for routine semen analysis. Who Will Benefit from Using accu-beads+? Whether you perform your semen counts using an automated analyzer or manually, you can use accu-beads+ for quality control. What do accubeads+ Evaluate? When used in an automated semen analyzer, the accu-beads+ test and evaluate the optical and image acquisition systems of the analyzer. For manual methods, the accu-beads+ are used to evaluate the actual counting procedures practiced. Because motility is irrelevant for checking these functions, the static nature of the accu-beads+ will not affect the quality control testing. How are accu-beads+ used? Using a pipette, simply draw the required amount (undiluted) and load your standard semen analysis chamber, such as a dis
