LIQUID-BASED CYTOLOGY MACHINE
LIQUID-BASED CYTOLOGY MACHINE
The HealthSky liquid based cytology equipment is an advanced diagnostic tool designed to enhance the efficiency of cytological examinations. Engineered to support various types of liquid based cytology, this state-of-the-art equipment ensures high-quality sample preparation by uniformly dispersing cells and eliminating obscuring materials such as blood and mucus. The result is a clearer, more reliable slide that facilitates the detection of cellular abnormalities, including precancerous and cancerous lesions. With its user-friendly interface, automated processing, and robust quality control features, the HealthSky liquid based cytology machine streamlines laboratory workflows, reduces human error, and ultimately improves patient outcomes.
TYPES OF LIQUID-BASED CYTOLOGY MACHINE
SCTE-3600A
HealthSky SCT Express-3600A is the next-generation Liquid-Based Cytology Workstation utilizing innovative SCT and acceleration sedimentation technology.
SCTW-2400A
HealthSky SCT Workstation 2400A is a Sieve Sedimentation Cytologic Technology-based workstation used for cytology slide processing and staining.

What is HealthSky SCT Method?
HealthSky Sieve Sedimentation Cytologic Technology (SCT) is a unique and patented cytology sample preparation technology developed by HealthSky. After the specimen is transferred to the chamber, obscuring factors such as blood and mucus are filtered out by the sieve, the inflammatory cells and other interferents are separated by density sedimentation, the relevant diagnostic cells are enriched on the slides which are specially treated. The prepared slides are featured with clean background, evenly distributed monolayer cells, and better cellular morphology.
FAQS OF LIQUID-BASED CYTOLOGY MACHINE
Q
What is a Liquid-Based Cytology (LBC) machine?
A liquid-based cytology equipment is a medical device used to prepare samples for cytological examination. It processes cells collected from various body sites (e.g., cervix, lungs) and suspends them in a liquid medium, which is then used to create a thin, uniform layer of cells on a microscope slide for analysis.
Q
What types of samples can be processed using an LBC machine?
The LBC machine is a versatile technique that can be used to process a variety of specimen types for cytological examination, include gynecological (gyn) and non-gynecological (non-gyn) specimen.
Q
How long does it take to process a sample using an LBC machine?
Processing a sample using a LBC machine typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the specific system and workflow used.
Q
What are the advantages of using LBC over conventional cytology?
Liquid-based cytology (LBC) offers several advantages over conventional cytology, including improved sample quality with cleaner and more evenly distributed cells, higher detection rates for abnormalities, and fewer unsatisfactory samples. It also allows for additional molecular testing, such as HPV, on the same sample, improves workflow efficiency with automated processing, and provides better cell preservation. These benefits lead to enhanced diagnostic accuracy and potential cost savings by reducing the need for repeat tests.
