NON-GYNECOLOGIC SAMPLE PREPARATION

ThinPrep 2000 Processor Operator’s Manual
RUN ON THINPREP PROCESSOR USING SEQUENCE n,
FIX, STAIN, AND EVALUATE
After the sample has been in contact with PreservCyt Solution for 15 minutes, it
may be processed on the ThinPrep 2000 processor. The operator loads the instru-
ment and selects the appropriate sequence number (sequence ‘n’) for the sample
to be processed as described in “SELECTING AND INITIATING A SEQUENCE”
on page 5A.16.
At the completion of the process, the operator fixes and stains the slide according
to the procedure in Chapter 8, “Fixation, Staining, and Coverslipping”.
When the slide is stained and coverslipped, it is microscopically reviewed by a
cytotechnologist or pathologist. If the slide appears unsatisfactory after micro-
scopic review, another slide may be made from the specimen using the SAMPLE
PREPARATION TROUBLESHOOTING procedures in Section G of this chapter.
