Wondering what everyone is using for their "wet" respiratory cytology specimens(bronch specimens, BAL, brushings etc)
Currently we have our microbiology department use mucolytic agent.  We also use cyto rich red for our brushing specimens. We are having a "drying out" effect and are wondering if these are causing this?
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
