1.1 Cytopro Cytocentrifuge Overview
Chamber Frame
Chamber frames accept either single or dual replacement pads and have a cutaway to prevent
cells from being smeared as the chamber assembly is removed. Indexing pins on the frame
ensure correct Cytopad alignment. Cytopads come pre-attached to chambers or in boxes of 100
for attaching to reused chambers.

Microscope Slides
Use standard (25 x 75 mm) glass microscope slides. For cytology specimens, use coated
slides to reduce cell loss during wet fixation and staining.
Elitech Group offers specially designed target slides for the Cytopro system. These slides are
available in uncoated (single SS-117; dual SS-217; Cytopro Magnum SS-232) and Poly-L-
Lysine coated (single SS-118; dual SS-218; Cytopro Magnum SS-233).
