SPECIMEN PREPARATION AND PROCESSING
Specimens for the ThinPrep Pap Test cytology slide are collected by a clinician,
then immersed and rinsed in a PreservCyt
®
Solution sample vial. The sample is
then capped, labeled, and sent to a laboratory equipped with a ThinPrep Pro-
cessor. After being processed, the slides are stained with ThinPrep Stain and
coverslipped.
Please refer to the Operator’s Manuals of these instruments for more informa-
tion regarding preparation and processing of ThinPrep slides. Please refer to the
ThinPrep Stain User’s Manual for information regarding use of the stain and
recommendations for coverslipping.
Special Precautions
There are conditions that might result in a slide not being successfully imaged.
Some conditions may be prevented or corrected by following these guidelines.
•
ThinPrep microscope slides with fiducial marks are being used. The
fiducial marks should not be scratched or marred.
•
The coverslip media is dry (wet media could cause equipment malfunc-
tion).
•
The slides are clean (no fingerprints, dust, debris, bubbles). Handle the
slides by the edges.
•
The coverslip does not extend beyond the surface of the slide.
•
The label is applied smoothly, without overhang. (Lifted edges may stick
during handling, causing broken slides or instrument malfunction.)
•
The slide is appropriately labeled for use with the ThinPrep Imaging
System (refer to Chapter 3, Slide Labeling, page 3.7).
