Olympus U-GAN Analyzer for Synovial Fluid Crystal Examination

The Olympus U-GAN gout analyzer is a microscope accessory used in polarized light microscopy to examine synovial fluid samples for crystals associated with gout and pseudogout. It is intended for compatible Olympus microscope configurations in clinical laboratories, rheumatology practices, and pathology settings.

Clinical Applications

• Examination of synovial fluid aspirates for suspected monosodium urate (MSU) crystals associated with gout.
• Examination for calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystals associated with CPP crystal arthritis (pseudogout).
• Supporting compensated polarized light microscopy workflows when installed in a suitable microscope system.

Important: Polarizer Required

The U-GAN analyzer alone does not provide a complete polarized light microscopy setup. A compatible polarizer is also required, such as the Olympus U-POT Polarizer. The polarizer is sold separately and is not included with this listing unless expressly specified.

Product Information

• Manufacturer: Olympus
• Model: U-GAN gout analyzer
• Original listing identifies part number U-P803
• Condition: Excellent, as described in the original listing

Compatibility: Confirm your microscope model, mounting configuration, and required polarization components before purchasing. Identification of crystals depends on proper setup, sample preparation, and trained interpretation; the accessory does not independently diagnose gout or pseudogout.
