Cytology Submission Best Practices
Submit 2-4 thin film preparations from solid tissue lesions on clean glass slides.
- Use a gentle squash preparation between two glass slides to create a monolayer of cells for review
- Please include any previously stained and evaluated slides for review.
Always label the slides directly with the patient name and site
- May also label slide box container, please do not label container only as slides and containers are separated during processing
Fluid samples
- Please consider preparing thin film and concentrated preparations on glass slides at time of collection to minimize in vitro artifacts.
- Please keep fluid samples cool prior to and during submission (cold packs wrapped in paper towels).
- Do not submit syringes with needles attached.
For the Best Results, Always Include:
- Brief patient history and any prior pertinent diagnoses
- Description of the lesion (location, size, consistency, tissue layer, organ source)
- Suspected differential diagnoses
- Questions you want the cytology report to answer
- Anything else you want the pathologist to know
Please do not refrigerate slides or allow to come in contact with formalin (package separately from biopsies)
