TThe Cytopro Cytocentrifuge is an in vitro diagnostic medical device for fixing biological cell suspensions on glass microscope slides for cytological examination. The Cytopro can be used with the following cell suspensions: Bronchoalveolar liquid (BAL), Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), Urine, Synovial fluid, And many more.
A mains electricity (AC-powered) laboratory device designed to condense fluid clinical specimens (e.g., serum, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, ascites) using centrifugal rotation in order to harvest and preserve the particulate matter. Commonly known as a cyto-spin, it separates fluid from the solid particles, or cellular elements, of a specimen so they are more concentrated. It typically consists of a centrifuge with various rotor heads, microtitre plates, tubes, microscope slides, funnels and/or cups to which the sample is added, and absorptive material, filters, fluid collecting traps or a vacuum source utilized to separate and remove the liquid component.
