摘要:
A system for preparing a cytological suspension is based on a fixing solution. The system containing a cytological sample-taking brush and a flask having an opening for receiving the cytological sample-taking brush are detachably fastened to a handle including a brush-receiving filter basket that is at least partially immersed in the a suspension.
摘要:
A device includes a reception chamber (5) for a cell suspension having an open bottom (6) extending opposite a cell deposition area (7) of the analysis plate (1), the bottom (6) of the chamber (5) being in fluid communication with an absorption material (14) for cell preservation liquid for absorbing the latter and enabling a homogeneous decantation deposition on the deposition area (7), the absorption material (14) being provided about the cell deposition area (7). The absorption material (14) includes a compressed area (16) extending between the bottom (6) of the reception chamber (5) and the analysis plate (1) about the cell deposition area (7), and a non-compressed area (17) extending about the compressed area (16).
摘要:
A cytological sampling brush includes a manipulation handle (2) at one of end of which are provided a first portion in the form of exocol sampling brush (4) and a second portion in the form of endocol sampling swab (5) at the center of the first portion in brush (4) form. This brush is characterized in that the second portion in swab (5) form is attached at the end of the handle (2) and is removable from the first portion by sliding in a hole (6) of the first portion in brush (4) form, provided with elements (7) for retaining cells for collecting cells from the second portion in swab (5) form, during retraction of the first portion in brush (4) form.
摘要:
A method includes carrying out at least a first processing of a sample (2), the processing being adapted to mark pathological cells among the sample cells; and carrying out several image acquisitions of the sample (2) provided on an analysis plate (6) in order to obtain images each representing an area of the analysis plate (6) wherein the images set side by side define an image (20) of the entire sample. The method further includes automatically running all the acquired images of the sample (2) on a display at a predetermined running speed, the speed being adapted for enabling an observer to analyze the image and to determine if the represented sample area includes potentially pathological cells or not; and stopping the running if at least one abnormality is detected that may indicate the presence of a pathological cell.
摘要:
This fixing solution is intended to preserve in vitro a cytological sample, comprising nucleated cells and erythrocytes and comprises alcohol for fixing the cells. It comprises physiological saline in order to avoid osmotic shocks at the wall of the cells, formalin and polyethylene glycol for retaining the size and the integrity of the nucleated cells and erythrocytes, which are fixed in said solution.The solution does not contain acetone or any compounds of the ketone or acetic acid family.
摘要:
This method includes the following steps: carrying out a processing of the specimen so as to make it possible to differentiate the pathological cells from the healthy cells of the specimen; and performing an acquisition of images of the specimen disposed on an analysis plate so as to obtain a plurality of images each representing a zone of the analysis plate, the images placed side by side forming an image of the whole of the specimen so as to create a virtual analysis plate. The method furthermore includes the following step: performing on the virtual analysis plate a processing of the images acquired so as to obtain a virtual restitution of the colors and of the intensity of the colors of the cytoplasm and/or of the nucleus, the colors and the intensity being able to be modified according to the preferences of the person in charge of the analysis.
摘要:
A tray for carrying at least one bottle that has to be positioned and held precisely on the tray, includes a support on which the bottle is intended to be placed, at least two rails running substantially parallel to one another along the support, the rails including at least one shoulder extending above the support toward the other rail so that a lower edge of the bottle can fit between and be immobilized in the rails in a longitudinal or transverse direction and in an upwards direction, each rail having at least one imprint, the imprints being positioned facing one another, each imprint being designed to accommodate an immobilizing element provided on the bottle so that the bottle can be immobilized in the rails in a longitudinal or transverse direction. A bottle used with a tray such as this is also described.
摘要:
This flask for preparing a fixative-based cytological suspension, which flask is provided with an opening (5) which is intended for receiving a brush (3) for cytological sampling, which brush is detachably fastened to a manipulation handle (4), is such that the opening (5) of the flask comprises abutment means (6) for the brush, which means enable the brush to be locked in the flask and to be detached from the handle (4), and at least one portion of perforated screen (6) for filtering the suspension during pouring.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing and analyzing a plurality of cell suspensions (5) comprising at least the following successive steps: (a) loading a plurality of bottles (4) onto a reception plate (6), each bottle (4) comprising a cell suspension (5) to be analyzed; (b) loading a plurality of analysis containers (32, 34, 36) onto the reception plate (6); and (c) taking a sample of a cell suspension (5) from a bottle (4) and depositing this sample in an analysis container (34, 36); wherein step (c) is repeated for each bottle (4) to be analyzed. Step (c) of taking a sample of a cell suspension from a bottle (4) and depositing this sample in an analysis container (34, 36) comprises at least one step of breaking up the cell clusters by virtue of pipetting distribution means (20).The invention also relates to an automated device for implementing this process.
