EliTechGroup cytology slide stainer cytocentrifuge
September 2020—EliTechGroup launched its Aerospray Cytology Slide Stainer Cytocentrifuge, which automates the preparation and staining of liquid-based cytology specimens to facilitate the examination of an array of cell differentiations using Papanicolaou staining techniques. The device performs two functions of sample preparation through cytocentrifugation and sample staining. It maximizes cell recovery to the slide through the use of its Cytopro Rotor, eliminates cross-contamination with an application of fresh stain for each slide, and provides programmable regressive and progressive staining capabilities that can be stored in memory.
