The ultimate thin-layer cell preparation unit can be found with this Cytospin 4 Cytocentrifuge by Thermo Scientific. This reliable unit has been used in more than 15,000 laboratories across the globe for over 40 years. It provides thin-layer preparations from any type of liquid matrix, including hypo-cellular fluids such as urines and spinal fluids. The system is capable of processing 12 specimens at a time. It only operates when the lid is locked securely into position, and meets stringent standards for centrifuge safety (IEC 61010). There is also a pull-out program card that is designed to allow up to 9 programs to be logged for simple and convenient retrieval. The mechanical and electronic components of the system are protected from accidental fluid spillage. One-handed opening and closing is enabled with the lid-release mechanism.
