What does liquid-based thin-layer cytology mean?

Liquid-based thin-layer cytology is an advanced cytological examination (pathological examination); Refers to the technology of preparing cytological specimens (smears or prints) with thin-layer automatic devices; Like the pathological tissue slicer, the automatic thin-layer cell slicing device is just a slicer. The device distributes a thin layer of cells evenly in a constant area, which overcomes the problems of traditional slicing technology, such as too thick materials, overlapping cells, blurred background, poor staining and so on. In recent years, domestic liquid-based thin-layer cell slicing devices have also appeared one after another. With the popularization of liquid-based thin-layer cell slicing technology, a variety of manual and semi-automatic liquid-based slicing technologies have emerged.

In short, it is an advanced cytological examination, mainly used for early diagnosis of uterine cancer, inflammation and other diseases.
