Instructions for use

The Fuchs-Rosenthal counting chamber is used to count cells in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by observing through a microscope a calibrated grid of which the exact dimensions (including depth and volume) are known. A simple calculation allows the number of cells per ml or another volume unit to be determined.

For trypanosomiasis, two counts, and therefore two chambers, are needed for the same sample.

Allow for the liquid to settle after it has been placed in a wet chamber before counting.

Please consult the “Updated laboratory procedures, 2022” available online via the Laboratory working Group sharepoint page: Laboratory Procedures and Resources.

MSF requirements

High precision when counting the white blood cells.

For cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), simple grid chambers are recommended in order to avoid mixing the fluids of two different patients.
