SAMPLE PROCESSING TROUBLESHOOTING

REPROCESSING A THINPREP

™

 PAP TEST SAMPLE VIAL FOLLOWING AN UNSATISFACTORY 

RESULT

Laboratory personnel may reprocess ThinPrep

™

 Pap test specimens where slides have been 

interpreted as inadequate (“Unsatisfactory for Evaluation”) for diagnosis following cytotechnologist 
screening. The instructions below must be followed in order to properly reprocess these specimens:

Note:

Reprocessing a ThinPrep Pap test specimen may only be performed once.

Note:

Good laboratory practices should be followed to avoid introducing contaminants into the 
PreservCyt Solution sample vial. 

Reprocessing Protocol

1 Prepare a wash solution of sufficient volume to add 30 mL to every 

ThinPrep Pap test specimen being reprocessed. The wash solution 
is made by mixing 9 parts CytoLyt

™

 Solution with 1 part glacial 

acetic acid.

2 Prior to performing this step, assure there is sufficient volume in the 

ThinPrep Pap test specimen to result in a pellet, following 
centrifugation. Pour the contents of the ThinPrep Pap test specimen 
into a centrifuge tube appropriately labeled to maintain chain of 
custody. Retain the vial.

3 Pellet the contents of the centrifuge tube by centrifugation at 

1200 x

g

 for 5 minutes.

Note: 

Once centrifugation is complete, the cell pellet should be 
clearly visible but the cells may not be tightly packed 
together (the pellet may appear fluffy).
