Description

<p>The long-term preservation of urinary sediment specimens is difficult, and the microscopic observation of specimens becomes impossible a few hours after collection. Various methods of preserving urinary sediment specimens are currently known, for example, by adding a fixative solution to the urinary sediment specimen, or preserving only urinary casts as the specimen. However, no method of preserving many urinary sediment components as specimens has been established. In this work, I developed a buffer with starch syrup as a new mounting medium for the long-term preservation of urinary sediment specimens. With this mounting medium, many urinary sediment ingredients can be preserved for at least one year or longer at room temperature. It is expected that the use of this mounting medium can have a considerable educational impact in clinical sites and educational facilities or in quality control using the same specimens.</p>
