Since 1924, Cargille Laboratories has been providing specialized services to a broad range of laboratory sciences. Cargille develops and manufactures optical liquids calibrated for refractive indices for use throughout the many laboratory disciplines involving microscopy and optics. Advances for the microscopy field continually develop from Cargille Laboratories’ research.

Cargille has also consistently led in the development and standardization of immersion oils for over 50 years. Cargille immersion oils meet or exceed the ISO 8036-1 Standard, and in fact, Cargille served as a member of the U.S. delegation to the International Standards Organization and helped write the ISO specifications for immersion oils in conjunction with microscope manufacturers, experts, and users worldwide.

Other major products which Cargille concentrates on include highly stable Laser Liquids, mounting medias, optical gels, fused silica matching liquids, comminuted optical glass & mineralogical reference standards, viscosity tubes, beakers, Sink-Floats®, Heavy Liquids®, and other scientific and laboratory specialties.

Stabilur® Tablets

Stabilize Urine Specimens For Delayed Laboratory Microscopic Examination of Urine Sediment

Maintains* Red and White Blood Cells in Original Condition
- Prevents the usual rapid lysis of leukocytes to assure accurate confirmation of this key indicator of urinary tract infection.1

- Permits accurate counting and estimation or erythrocytes

Maintains* the Morphology of Typical Formed Elements in Urine Sediment Such as Casts, Crystals and Mucous Threads
- Morphology and staining characteristics of casts and cells are retained in original condition.
- Tablet dissolves completely, and does not contribute any crystals to the sediment.2

* Protects unrefrigerated specimens circa three days.

Maintains* Most Urine Dipstick Chemistries

Maintains most chemical constituents in urine for retesting by dipstick chemistry by preventing bacterial decomposition.
- Does not interfere with enzyme based dipstick chemistry tests, i.e. leukocyte esterase.3
- At recommended levels urine pH is buffered to just under neutral, and specific gravity is raised 0.002.

*Maintains Other Chemistry Assay Components

- Does not interfere with certain TLC and RIA methods for assay of physiological marker compounds and drugs and their   metabolytes.
