Cytopro® is the world’s most advanced cytocentrifuge rotor. Cytopro’s unique ergonomic design leaves no chance of smearing cells.
Quick and easy loading & unloading:
- Perfect alignment: The pad is always correctly aligned with the tunnel.
- 7 mm diameter cell area: A larger, centered cell deposit area makes screening easier and more sensitive.
- Cost-efficient: Plastic Cytopro chambers are disposable or reuseable after decontamination.
- Simple in situ fixation: Load a few drops of sample into the tunnel port, then load fixative into the sample well. As the rotor accelerates, the cells are fixed after they sediment onto the slide.
Available sample chambers (patented flow control increases cell yield and delivers consistent results):
- Standard Chamber: Combines ease of use with superb cell recovery.
- Dual Chamber: Places two samples on the same slide for increased efficiency and economy.
- Cytopro Magnum®: Accepts sample sizes up to 6 mL.
