Glass Double Neubauer Chamber 3100 by Hausser Scientific Rhodium Layer

Description

Product Overview

The 3100 Glass Double Neubauer Counting Chamber Set is engineered for laboratories that demand precision, repeatability, and durability in cell enumeration. Manufactured by Hausser Scientific, a trusted name in scientific instrumentation, this chamber incorporates a semi‑transparent rhodium layer that is fused directly into the polished surface of the counting areas. This unique construction provides a controlled light transmission range of 29% to 32%, minimizing glare and enhancing contrast for clear visualization of microorganisms, blood cells, and other particulate matter. The set includes two high‑quality cover glasses that rest on four small matte surfaces opposite the rulings, ensuring a stable, bubble‑free seal during observation. The slide is thoughtfully designed with charging inclines and a polished concavity beneath the ruling, facilitating smooth sample loading and even distribution across the counting grid. Additional features such as a condenser and iris diaphragm adjustment are present, though they are less critical due to the chamber’s optimized optical design. Package dimensions measure 4.53 x 2.6 x 0.83 inches and the unit weighs only 1.76 ounces, making it compact and easy to store alongside other labware.

Usage

This counting chamber is ideally suited for a wide range of applications, including microbiology, hematology, environmental testing, and quality‑control processes in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Researchers can employ the chamber for bacterial colony counting, assessing cell viability, measuring particle concentration in water samples, and performing differential blood counts. The rhodium‑fused layer’s consistent light transmission reduces the need for frequent recalibration, allowing technicians to focus on data acquisition rather than instrument adjustment. The included cover glasses protect the sample from contamination while providing a uniform optical path, which is essential when working with delicate specimens or when performing time‑sensitive assays. The chamber’s robust glass construction withstands routine cleaning with standard laboratory solvents, and its compact footprint fits comfortably into standard incubators, microscopes, and storage cabinets. Whether used in academic research labs, clinical diagnostics, or industrial quality‑control settings, the 3100 Neubauer chamber delivers reliable performance that meets the stringent demands of modern scientific inquiry.

FAQ

What types of samples can I analyze with this chamber?

The chamber is suitable for bacterial cultures, blood cells, yeast, algae, and any particulate suspension where accurate counting is required.

How do I clean and maintain the chamber?

Rinse the chamber with distilled water after each use, followed by a brief soak in a mild laboratory detergent if needed. Rinse again thoroughly and allow to air‑dry before storing.

Is the rhodium layer replaceable if it becomes damaged?

The rhodium layer is integral to the glass surface and cannot be replaced separately. If the layer is compromised, we recommend contacting our support team for a replacement unit.

Can I use this chamber with any microscope?

Yes, the chamber is compatible with standard bright‑field microscopes and can be used with phase‑contrast or differential interference contrast (DIC) optics for enhanced imaging.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The 3100 Neubauer Counting Chamber comes with a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects.
