Unable to load your collection due to an error, Unable to load your delegates due to an error. Wet-Mount Preparation: Examination of wet mounts requires lowered light for increased refractility, which can be accomplished by lowering the condenser (moving the condenser away or down from the glass microscope stage) using the condenser knob or partially closing the iris diaphragm on the condenser by using the dial (toward 0). Absence ofred blood cells in the smear background was significantly more frequent in AD smears than in WF specimens (p = 0.0006). Methods of cytologic smear preparation and fixation.

Note: Fifteens are sufficient for specimen fixation. Identification of formed elements in urine sediment (including cells, casts, and crystals) in wet-mount preparations requires training and expertise. MGG stain is also called Pappenheim stain in Germany, where Dr. Pappenheim invented and reported this method in 1911 [4].

Although quantification of cellular constituents is best performed by wet-mount examination, dry-mount preparations are superior in many cases, including for qualitative and morphologic assessment of bacteria, nuclear morphology, and cell identification. Liquid-based cytology involves pre-fixing the sample in an alcohol-based fixative before making the preparation in a machine which filters the fluid from the cells then pushes the cell deposit in a thin layer onto a prescribed area of a slide.

Rapid Fixation -Is it an Effective Method in the Diagnosis of Rehydration, followed by fixation of air-dried smears, is a simple, feasible, applicable and reliable fixation technique which is comparable to the wet-fixed conventional technique used for cervical smears and can be applied for evaluation on a routine basis. However, staining can sometimes hinder wet-mount evaluation by introducing artifacts (stain precipitate, microbial overgrowth); cannot preserve cellular morphology (a common misconception); and, for those learning urine sediment, can make evaluation of wet mounts with artifacts more challenging than directly visualizing air-dried preparations stained with a routine in-clinic aqueous quick stain.

Cytomorphologic comparison between rehydrated air-dried and conventional wet-fixed pap smears. Dry- and wet-mount preparations are complementary techniques for evaluating urine sediment. The present study was undertaken to compare the efficacy between the wet and spray type of fixation methods These may include antigen retrieval by heating the slides in buffer in a microwave oven for 20 minutes. Purpose: Alcohol-based fixatives permeabilize the cell membrane so that antibody solutions can penetrate the cell. An alternative method of rehydrating the air-dried cervical smears followed by fixation and conventional staining method can overcome most of the problems associated with short supply and storage of alcohol, wet fixing of slides and transporting them to the cytology centre if the Pap smears are prepared at a peripheral centre. The disadvantage is that one is looking at whole cells under the microscope and because of the occasionally overlapping cells it is sometimes difficult to distinguish nuclear from cytoplasmic immunoreactions. <>>>

Even though statistically through the test Post-Hocshowed no difference, the quality of Diff-Quick staining of cytological preparations fixed by wet fixation method was better than dry fixation, so the wet fixation method was more recommended for cytological preparations than FNAB.

Cytology Sample Procurement, Fixation and Processing Dry-mount urine sediment slides must be allowed to air dry naturally or by application of a warm air gun (or a hair dryer) on the cool setting before staining; if a slide is not completely dry, the material can wash away in fixative.
