KOVA® products for microscopy: Let’s talk standardization

Microscopic urinalysis is an invaluable source of information for diagnosis of urinary tract infections, malignancies and kidney disease. The HYCOR KOVA System addresses variables that contribute to imprecision in manual microscopic urinalysis. It standardizes and streamlines the sample preparation process, so you reduce variables, improve worker safety, and increase the quality of your results.

Eliminate variables at every step

The KOVA System includes specially engineered slides, sample tubes and controls for safe, reliable workflow standardization.

  1. Take your samples from the collection cup to the centrifuge with KOVA Super Tubes.
  2. Isolate sediments with the KOVA Petter.
  3. Use the KOVA Petter to add and mix stain for visualization of cells and casts.
  4. Transfer a drop of each sample to a chamber on the KOVA Glasstic® slide for standardized, volume-precise microscopic analysis.
