Automated Cellient^™ cytoblocks: better, stronger, faster?

Objective Cytoblocks ( CB s), or cell blocks, provide additional morphological detail and a platform for immunocytochemistry ( ICC ) in cytopathology. The Cellient ™ system produces CB s in 45 minutes using methanol fixation, compared with traditional CB s, which require overnight formalin fixation. This study compares Cellient and traditional CB methods in terms of cellularity, morphology and immunoreactivity, evaluates the potential to add...
