Citofem®
Citofem is a general purpose liquid-based cytology system designed for a wide variety of cytology specimens. The Citofem® system has an optimal combination of single-layer cell presentation, slide adhesion and cell preservation thus allowing for effective visualization.
Citofem versus
1) Greater cell capture and better detection
100% cell capture. The entire brush head is transferred into and maintained in the sample vial, ensuring complete cell capture. (Competitors dispose of theirs, with substantial sample material lost)
Citofem´s unique cell-preservative clarifies the cell nuclei. As soon as the sample brush enters the Citofem vial, biochemical action separates blood, mucous, and other material from the target cells and their nuclei.
Citofem´s unique Bioprep further clarifies and cleans the sample after centrifuging to provide a superior sample for the technologist.
A clearer sample reduces reading time and error. 100% cell capture reduces the probability of false negatives.
Citofem can demonstrate that its accuracy and precision are second to none in the liquid cytology market.
2) Longer Sample Viability
Citofem´s Bioprep maintains, uncontaminated, a high quality sample for follow up/confirmation or other tests, such as Viro-Safe (for the L1 Capsid Protein of high risk HPV strains) for 90 days with no special care. This eliminates the need (and cost) of taking additional patient samples.
3) Xylene-free
Xylene is a toxic substance used as a standard component in competitors products. It is a regulated substance in most countries, as it presents significant nervous system risk to workers who are exposed on a regular basis. By eliminating xylene from Citofem:
eliminates this risk to laboratory workers,
reduces regulatory responsibility (no longer a reportable substance in the laboratory for regulatory purpose), and
eliminates a toxic substance that requires (under the laws of many countries) special waste management procedures.
4) Simplicity
Citofem is as simple as a pap smear with no additional equipment or knowledge required. A laboratory can switch from traditional pap smears or other cytology systems to Citofem from one day to the next, with no investment in equipment or special training.
5) Higher Throughput Speed
Citofem has a demonstrably faster throughput speed than most competitors, including leading brands' automated systems. This means that laboratories can perform more high quality tests based on their optimum batch size, using less technician time.
6) Flexibility
Citofem´s unique approach allows many different types of cytology samples to be processed and analyzed using the same product. Protocols are currently available for buccal, penile, skin, sputum and a variety of other tests.
