[Histonet] Thin-Prep

[Weems, Joyce]

I just reread this and realized you weren't talking about tissue - duh. Let me try this again.

The majority of our cytology is nons. We spin, vortex, pour off, pour in - etc. There are non-gyn supplies separate from the gyn for this purpose. If you'd like, I'll direct you to my Cytotech... j

Hello all;

I was instructed by a Pathologist that I work for to investigate using the ThinPrep technology in a non-gyne capacity.  Is this done?  I know that it is used for gyne specimens but I have never heard of using the technology for non-gyne.  I'm a Histo-tech and my experience with cytology is limited so any information that I could get would be appreciated.  (where to get the instrument, cost, is it applicable)

Thank you,

Stephen J. Scholz HT(ASCP)
