Cytopro® Cytocentrifuge

Model 7621

The Cytopad® snaps quickly between the chamber and the frame. This guarantees that the pad is always correctly aligned with the sample tunnel. No fumbling and no cell loss due to poor alignment.

Cytopads are made with a controlled compression ring around the sample hole. This controls the rate of absorption and allows compensation for the lot-to-lot variations in paper quality for more consistent results.

Two ports, one in the sample well and one in the tunnel, provide great versatility, allowing you to introduce pre-wetting fluids and making in situ fixation easy and reliable.

You can load samples directly through the chamber caps to prevent spilling of hazardous samples. Caps provide added safety to the operator.

A large, centered cell deposit area makes screening easier and more sensitive.

Advanced design places two samples on the same slide for increased efficiency and economy. Dual sample chambers provide the same excellent results as our single sample chambers.

1. The cell suspension is pipetted into the sample well or the tunnel.
2. As the rotor starts spinning, centrifugal force moves the suspension towards the slide.
3. Cells sediment onto the slide as the Cytopad absorbs the suspension medium.

Versatility is one of Cytopro's major strengths. The system satisfies a wide variety of sample treating requirements:

Cytopads come in two absorption speeds that are color-coded for ease of use. The white pad is for faster absorption of thick of debris-filled suspension fluids. The brown pad is for slower absorption of thin fluids such as cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) where slower flow enhances cell recovery.

Wescor's unique Cytopro chambers are competitively priced for disposable use, or they can be reused after suitable cleaning. The choice is yours.

The tunnel port accepts saline or other fluids to pre-wet the absorption pad at the beginning of a cycle. This exclusive patented feature significantly improves cell recovery.

A common problem with Papanicolaou staining is air drying of the sample cells. In situ fixation during the cytocentrifugation cycle is the most reliable way to prevent this problem.

In situ fixation with Cytopro is very simple. Load a few drops of sample into the tunnel port, then load fixative into the sample well. As the rotor accelerates, the cells are fixed after they sediment onto the slide.

The Cytopro cytocentrifuge has an eight-slide capacity and keyboard programmability. It can also accept a variety of sample chambers to meet your needs.

Combines ease of use with
superb cell recovery.

Dual Sample Chambers The reusable dual sample chambers allow you to place two 38.5 mm² (7 mm diameter each) spots of specimen on the same microscope slide. Dual chambers are designed to operate the same as single chambers.

Advanced design places
two samples on the same
slide for increased efficiency and economy.

The Wescor Cytopro Magnum is a significant development in cytocentrifugation and liquid based cytology. Its revolutionary design offers superior results with extraordinary convenience and a new level of biohazard protection.

Allows for treatment of
large samples up to 6 mL.
