Cytopad® Absorption Pads
Cytopads (standard chambers only) absorb suspension fluid and allow sample cells to
sediment onto the microscope slide. Cytopads feature compressed flow-control rings for
controlled absorption of suspension fluids.
Cytopads are available in two absorption rates. The slow (tan) pad is for rapidly absorbed
fluids of low viscosity, low cellularity, or low turbidity. Use the fast (white) pad for more
viscous cell suspensions.
NOTE: Tan pads may vary in color from lot to lot and even from pad to pad. These color
differences do not change the performance of the pad. The tan color is used to differentiate
these pads from the white pads.
Cytopads are held securely between the chamber and the chamber frame for dependable
performance.
