Cytyc Thinprep 2000 Cytology Processor

The Cytyc ThinPrep 2000 processor is an automated slide preparation system recommended to be used with the ThinPrep Pap test. In addition, this processor is compatible with non-gynecological specimens to assist in diagnosing disease entities and cancers of numerous body sites obtained through exfoliative methods and fine needle aspiration.

The Cytyc ThinPrep 2000 processor controls diagnostic cell dispersion, collection, and transfer from a sample to a slide. This ensures the slide represents (and is reproducible of) the original sample.

Under the precise control of the Cytyc ThinPrep 2000 microprocessor, a gentle dispersion step breaks up blood, mucus, and non-diagnostic debris, and then thoroughly mixes the sample The Cytyc ThinPrep 2000 draws fluid through a filter to collect a thin, even layer of diagnostic cellular material, with a series of negative pressure pulses. The ThinPrep 2000 processor constantly monitors the flow rate through the filter during this process, collecting an appropriate amount of material for testing.

The cellular material is transferred to a glass slide using computer-controlled mechanical positioning and positive air pressure. The slide is then ejected into a cell fixative bath, ready for staining and evaluation.
