[Histonet] Thin Preps

[Kemlo Rogerson]

ThinPrep equipment (Cytyc) is needed to prepare ThinPreps and there is
no practical way of doing it manually, to my knowledge.
 
There is another system (SurePath) that can prepare liquid based
cytology preparations and it appears to be less expensive and some may
say, more efficient (some would say, I'm not saying anything!!!!!!!!)
However, look at both alternatives, the end result, some would say are
similar (I'm not saying anything), but one thing I WILL say, is that
either are better than conventional.
 
I screen SurePath, ThinPrep and conventional every day. I prefer LBC
over conventional but I'm not saying anything else in an open Forum!

Hi everyone,
 
Since Histology & Cytology sometimes cross, would any of you know if the
Thin Prep equipment is required to prepare the slides for
interpretation, or if there is a manual procedure for doing so?
 
Any assistance you may provide is greatly appreciated.  Thank you in
advance for your help.
 
Louri
