Product catalog summary
Overview
B-cyto is a liquid-based cytology system designed to improve the quality and accuracy of cytological diagnoses through thin-layer cytology. This technique ensures a uniform layer of cells on a slide, reducing artefacts and contaminants.

Components
  • B-Cyto Transport Jar: Contains fixative for liquid cytology, packaged in 54 pre-filled jars with 25 ml each.
  • B-Cyto Rack: A transparent, shockproof plexiglass rack with 32 slots for jars and slides, facilitating easy transport and reducing sample-slide matching errors.
  • B-Cyto Filters: Dual-layer filtering membranes retain essential elements for diagnosis while removing background noise.
  • B-Cyto Cytology Processor: A compact, efficient thin-layer cytology processor capable of processing 1 to 4 samples in 20 seconds.

Staining Solutions
Papanicolaou staining solutions offer fast staining with bright colors and excellent cellular details, and are methanol-free.

Microscope Slides
Slides are ground edge 90°, clipped corner 45°, clean, defatted, and transparent.

Fixatives
  • B-Cyto Cervical Brush: A sterile brush with soft nylon bristles for endocervical sampling during Pap smears.
  • Bio-fix: A fixative spray for vaginal cytology.
  • Saccomanno’s Fixative: Used for samples with mucus.

Advantages
  • Improved accuracy by reducing artefacts and contaminants.
  • Better preservation of samples for longer storage.
  • Standardisation reduces preparation errors.

Applications
  • Pap test for cervical cancer screening.
  • Needle aspiration for analyzing samples taken by needle aspiration.
