Cytospin

Cytospin is a laboratory technique used to prepare cells from a fluid sample, such as blood or joint fluid, for microscopic examination. The process involves placing the sample in a special device that gently spins it at high speed, causing the cells to be concentrated and evenly spread onto a small area of a glass slide. This makes it easier for doctors to examine the cells closely under a microscope, aiding in diagnosis of conditions like infections, cancer, or inflammation. Cytospin provides clear, well-preserved cell samples, improving the accuracy of microscopic analysis.
