Cytology sample storage

  • How do you store histology samples?

    Most specimens for histology need to be placed in an appropriately sized container with adequate amount of formalin (ideally 10x the volume of the sample) as soon as removed from the patient.
    Specimen containers of all sizes, pre-filled with formalin, are available from histology, please contact the laboratory..

  • How do you transport a cytological specimen?

    ✓ Samples collected by catheter or from the first morning urine should be transferred to a clean container with a legible and completely filled-out label. ✓ All specimens should be transported as soon as possible to the laboratory or, if that is not possible, stored under refrigeration to avoid cellular degeneration..

  • The smear(s) should be immediately fixed with spray fixative or fixed in 95% ethyl alcohol for 10 minutes.
    Allow the slides to completely air dry before shipping.
Samples should be immediately prepared from the specimen. Record the date of preparation on the specimen container and refrigerate any remaining specimen. Specimen can be stored for one week before disposal. Ideally, samples need to be kept until the specimen is reported by the cytopathologist.
