| Popis: | The presence of crystals in synovial fluid is associated with inflammation and destructive changes in the joint. The crystals can be isolated from the fluid and identified using a number of techniques. However, the processes are often lengthy and generally involve difficult procedures. This study describes the development of a simple and reliable method using hypochlorite solution to isolate crystals from joint fluids without causing any apparent changes to the crystals. Scanning electron microscopy and microanalysis are then used for accurate identification of the crystal deposits. |
