spot of specimen on a single microscope slide.

Sample Well

The sample well holds up to 6.0 mL of fluid. The sample can be either poured into
the sample well or pipetted through the open port in the sample well cap. Make
sure the chamber cap is properly secured prior to running the sample. Failure to do
so may allow fluid to leak into the rotor.

Chamber Sealing Gasket

The gasket at the end of the sedimentation chamber seals the Cytopro Magnum
against the glass slide to prevent fluid from leaking during cytocentrifugation.

Fluid Absorption Chambers

The two fluid absorption chambers are filled with an absorbent media that absorbs
the residual sample fluid after the cells are removed through cytocentrifugation.
NOTE: The absorbent media may turn yellow with age and light exposure. This color
change does not affect the absorption properties of the media and the chambers
can still be used with confidence.
