Cytology on smear

  • How do you prepare for a direct smear in cytology?

    To make a cell smear or cell block, an aliquot of the sample, typically 50 mL in pleural and peritoneal fluid specimens, is centrifuged with a bench top centrifuge.
    The supernatant is aspirated and the sediment is used for preparing direct cell smears or cell blocks..

Cervical cytology was formerly known as the smear test. When performed routinely every 3-5 years, it is a great help in the detection and treatment of cervical abnormalities known as Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN). Early detection and treatment of CIN can prevent about 75% of cervical cancers developing.
In cytological smear, the sample is either smeared on a glass slide or made on a monolaye, and it is subsequently stained with the following stains- Papanicolaou, Diff quick and heamatoxylin and eosin. Samples of CB are fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin and then treated as a tissue block.
