Description
The Shandon CytoRich Red Collection Fluid is a hemolytic, alcohol-based fixative solution designed for cytological and histological applications. It is specifically formulated to preserve cells and small tissue fragments in suspension, making it ideal for diagnostic non-gynecological cytology specimens such as sputa, washings, brushings, and fine needle aspiration biopsies. CytoRich Red effectively lyses red blood cells and solubilizes proteins, providing results comparable to those achieved with neutral buffered formalin.
This collection fluid is compatible with various preparation techniques, including the Thermo Scientific Shandon Cytospin System and cell block methods. By using CytoRich Red for specimen collection, laboratories can significantly reduce preparation time, as it allows for immediate fixation and processing upon arrival at the lab. Available in multiple sizes, including 500 ml bottles, CytoRich Red enhances reliable preservation of cellular integrity.
