Problems solved by technology

However, current Pap staining is tedious and time-consuming
Furthermore, the number of steps and methodology required makes the entire process very difficult to automate and difficult to implement at the point of care setting, meaning that samples cannot be analyzed at the point of care setting and must be sent to a laboratory for analysis

Abstract

The present invention relates to a system or a kit for preparing a cytological sample for examination, comprising a fixative to fix cells contained in said sample, a cell surface modifier to modify the surface of cells contained in said sample, having at least two faces A first sample support device having at least two sides, a second sample support device having at least two sides, wherein at least one side of the at least one support device has a cytoplasmic dye or a nuclear dye deposited on at least one face (Figure 1).

Description

[0001] field of invention [0002] The present invention relates to the field of microscopic examination of cytological samples. [0003] Background of the invention [0004] Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide and is the leading cause of cancer death among women in developing countries. About 30% of cancers in women are cervical cancer, for example in India over 100,000 new cases are diagnosed every year. The projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of cervical cancer cases is 2.56%, at which rate approximately 175,000 new cases of cervical cancer will be detected in 2012. [0005] A recommended tool for screening for cervical cancer is cytology to detect cancer in the Papanicolaou test (also called Pap-smear, Pap-test, Pap smear, or smear test) Precursor, which is a screening test used in gynecology to detect premalignant and malignant lesions in the cervical canal, especially the degenerative zone. [0006] When taking a Pap smear, a va...
