An automated device has been developed to prepare a wide variety of cytology preparations. Using the device, cells collected in suspension are mildly dispersed and transferred to a glass slide using filter-transfer technology. The cell density on the slide is controlled by the instrument. A companion product, the solution used in specimen transport and preparation, provides long-term preservation of diagnostic cells while lysing red blood cells. The overall process yields clean, uniform samples with better visualization of the diagnostic cells. The use of a disposable filter prevents sample-to-sample contamination. Collection of the sample in solution makes it possible to produce multiple slides from one sample.
已开发出一种自动化设备来制备多种细胞学制剂。使用该设备，将悬浮液中收集的细胞轻度分散，并采用过滤转移技术转移到载玻片上。载玻片上的细胞密度由仪器控制。配套产品，即用于标本运输和制备的溶液，可在裂解红细胞的同时长期保存诊断细胞。整个过程可产生干净、均匀的样本，能更好地观察诊断细胞。使用一次性过滤器可防止样本间污染。在溶液中收集样本使得从一个样本制备多张载玻片成为可能。
