Cytopreparatory Laboratory

A Cytopreparatory Laboratory specializes in preparing samples of cells for examination under a microscope, often as part of cancer screenings or diagnosis. Technicians in this lab collect and process fluids, such as pap smears or other bodily fluids, to isolate and preserve cells. These prepared samples help pathologists identify any abnormalities, such as cancerous or pre-cancerous cells. The laboratory plays a crucial role in early detection and diagnosis, contributing to effective treatment plans and overall patient care.
