LIQUID BASED CYTOLOGY
Liquid Based Cytology (LBC)
EZIPREP LBC is strongly advocated in the best interest of public health, by improving the quality of the samples and reducing the likelihood of the false negative cytology results.Thus liquid based cytology improve the early detection and treatment of cervical cancer.
Liquid-based cytology is a method of preparing samples for examination in cytopathology. The sample is collected, normally by a small brush, in the same way as for a conventional smear test, but rather than the smear being transferred directly to a microscope slide, the sample is deposited into a small bottle of preservative liquid. At the laboratory the liquid is treated to remove other elements such as mucus before a layer of cells is placed on a slide. The technique allows more accurate results.
“Pap Smear is sub optimal due to false positive and false negative results”
“Liquid based cytology is More sensitive and specific compared with conventional pap smear”
