Remanufactured Cytyc Thin Prep 2000

Instrument Description

The Cytyc Thin Prep 2000 celluar processor is an automated slide preparation unit used with the ThinPrep Pap Test for cervical cancer testing. The ThinPrep 2000 can also be used for non-gynecological specimens such as for the diagnosis of cancers of the lung, bladder, and gastrointestinal tract, and in the preparation of fine needle aspiration of thyroid and breast.

At the laboratory, the sample vial is placed into the Thin Prep 2000 celluar processor. Under the control of the instrument’s microprocessor, the following steps are automatically performed. First, a gentle dispersion step breaks up blood, mucus, and non-diagnostic debris, and then thoroughly mixes the sample. A series of negative pressure pulses are generated, which draw fluid though a ThinPrep 2000 filter to collect a thin, even layer of diagnostic cellular material.

The Thin Prep 2000 constantly monitors the rate of flow through the ThinPrep 2000 filter during this process to collect an appropriate amount of material. The cellular material is transferred to a glass slide using computer controlled mechanical positioning and positive air pressure. The slide is then ejected into a cell fixative bath, ready for staining and evaluation.
