Cytocentrifuge

A cytocentrifuge is a laboratory device used to prepare samples of fluids, like blood or other bodily fluids, for microscopic examination. It spins these samples rapidly in a controlled manner, causing the cells to sediment onto a glass slide. This concentration of cells allows for better observation and analysis of their shape, size, and characteristics under a microscope. It’s particularly useful in diagnosing diseases such as infections or cancers by providing a clearer picture of the cellular makeup of the sample.
