PROMED 2000 RPM Tabletop Clinic Hospital Cell Smear Low Speed Centrifuge DL-1018 H1006
The smear of a clinical specimen provides essential laboratory information that is used to make therapeutic decisions. Clinically, cytocentrifuge preparations showed greater sensitivity for culture-positive specimens and a closer correlation with the CFU per milliliter than HSC did, resulting in a greater ability to treat patients with specific therapies. In addition, analysts needed to examine only a 6-mm-diameter area on the slide, cells and microbes were somewhat larger and more regular in appearance, and smears stained more uniformly. Because of the increased clinical and laboratory utility of the cytocentrifuge, its use is recommended in clinical microbiology laboratories for all sterile body fluid specimens.
