Cytological Fixative Cytofix Aerosol 150ml - approx 300 doses
What is CYTOFIX®?
CYTOFIX® is an aerosol preparation used to fix biological smears applied on the microscopic slide, prior to their subsequent evaluation.
How does CYTOFIX® work?
After the use of CYTOFIX®, the sampled biological material is covered with a thin, transparent, polymer coating protecting against the influences of the environment during storage and transport.
Scope of application of CYTOFIX®
- gynaecological smears
- body fluid smears (cerebrospinal fluid, peritoneal fluid, etc.)
- smears of aspiration fine-needle biopsy of tumours of the thyroid gland, prostate, mammary gland, lymph glands, salivary glands, soft tissues, etc.
- smears of fluid deposits from body cavities and urine, sputum smears
CYTOFIX® advantages
- elimination of diagnostic errors - each preparation is fixed individually, thus it is not possible to move cells from one slide to another, which happens not infrequently while using a liquid "alcohol-ether" fixing agent. All cells present on the slide before fixing will remain there also after fixing.
- complete fixing of sampled material - no areas that are not fixed, or changes hindering subsequent evaluation of material can be observed.
- possibility to colour smears, without the need to fear to rinse or deforming cells, material protected against mechanical damage during transport to diagnostic centres
- possibility to store fixed smears for at least 30 days without a loss of their properties ease of use and efficiency (300 smears on average)
Method of application
Spray CYTOFIX® on the slide with a smear for a short time (ca 0.5 s) from the distance of approximately 30 cm.
Put the slide away on the level surface until it dries.
After a few minutes, the preparation is properly fixed and protected - can be coloured, diagnosed or prepared for transport.
