Liquid Based Cytology/LT-YJ2000 Liquid Based Cytology Slide Processor/Thinprep Cytologic Test System

Liquid-based cytology is a method of preparing samples for examination in cytopathology. The sample is collected, normally by a small brush, in the same way as for a conventional smear test, but rather than the smear being transferred directly to a microscope slide, the sample is deposited into a small bottle of preservative liquid. At the laboratory the liquid is treated to remove other elements such as mucus before a layer of cells is placed on a slide. The technique allows more accurate results. 

LT-YJ2000 System is an automated LBC slide preparation system for use of Thinprep Cytologic Test.  

With computerized process and membrane technology, the LT-YJ2000 System controls dispersion, collection and transfer of diagnostic cells from sample to slide. 

The dispersion step breaks up blood, mucus and non-diagnostic debris and collects diagnostic cells. 

Through a series of air pressure, the diagnostic cells are collected through LT-YJ2000 filter to form a thin, even layer of diagnostic material. The amount of material is precisely controlled in the 20mm slide surface for testing.

The slide will be moved into a collecting vial, ready for staining and evaluation. 

Feature

LT-YJ2000 precisely operates through the process of specimen dispersion, collection, and diagnostic material transfer. 

Dispersion:

• Sample dispersion breaks up non-diagnostic information.

Collection:

• Enriches diagnostic material.

Transfer:

• Computerized position and air pressure facilitate transfer of cells to the microscope slide. The positive charges on the slide protect the cells from falling off when staining.
