non-gynae cytology

All non-gynae samples can be prepared using the same PrepStain® equipment as used for gynae samples.

processing

• Cellular material adheres to the slide surface without any applied pressure
• Multiple stained and/or unstained slides can be made from each cell pellet
• Up to 48 samples can be processed per run
• No sample cross-contamination during staining
• Inexpensive technique compared to other automated LBC systems
• All types of non gynae samples can be processed

superior cell preservation

• Conventional SurePath® Preservative vials and existing stains for GY samples can be used
• CytoRich Red® lyses red blood cells and reduces debris
• CytoRich Blue® preserves red blood cells and reduces debris

results and interpretation

• Produces a homogenous, uniform thin-layer of single cells and cell aggregates stained within a small 13mm diameter area
• Preparations are standardised and highly cellular, reducing diagnostic time
• Standard diagnostic criteria are retained
• Free from crush, fixation and drying artefacts and no cell distortion
• Micro organisms, lymphocytes and crystals are retained and preserved

morphology

• Excellent nuclear and cytoplasmic morphology
• Crisp chromatin in small single cells and thick clusters large papillary structures and branching sheets remain intact and obvious
• Extra cellular material is preserved in significant quantities
• A superior method for preparing FNAs, where cell morphology and architecture are deciding factors

further applications and ancillary testing

• High antigenicity and reliable immunocytochemistry results. See illustration*
• Suitable for special stains and molecular tests
