February 2017—Streck’s Sperm-Chex and Sperm-Chex Post VC, both with stabilized sperm cells, are now assayed for the Makler Counting Chamber. Sperm-Chex has two clinically significant levels of control to simulate the sperm cell concentration that technologists encounter in patient samples. It has the same chamber loading and optical characteristics as a patient sample. Sperm-Chex verifies the sperm analysis process and tests the technologist’s proficiency in sperm cell quantification and qualification.

Sperm-Chex Post VC is a positive/negative post-vasectomy sperm count control with the same chamber loading and optical characteristics as a patient sample. Sperm-Chex Post VC validates the post-vasectomy sperm count procedure.
The products are stable for 42 days open vial and 12 months closed vial when stored at 2°C to 10°C.

Streck also offers Cell-Chex, a multilevel manual body fluid control to verify hemacytometer total RBC and WBC counts, urate and CPPD crystal identification, and manual differential procedures. The white blood cells in Cell-Chex are human to better resemble patient samples. When stained in the same manner as a patient sample, the technologist can differentiate granulocyte, lymphocyte, and monocyte populations.
