A container for holding a biologic fluid sample for analysis is provided which includes a chamber and a label. The chamber includes a first wall, a transparent second wall, and at least one feature located at a known spatial location within the chamber. The transparent second wall permits a fluid sample quiescently residing within the chamber to be imaged through the second wall. The at least one feature is operable to enable the analysis of the biologic fluid. The label directly or indirectly contains information regarding the features and the spatial location of the features within the chamber. The sample is analyzed by an analytical device that utilizes the information communicated through the label. |
