Model IDC20 -Automated Liquid-Based Cytology Slide Preparation System
iLsa has developed a new solution providing a consistent, reproducible mono-cell smear quality with unparalleled ease of reading at an unbeatable price ! For whom ? All laboratories handling between 5 and 400 slides a day. What results ? The machine`s double centrifuge and integrated turbidity reading system produce a consistent, single-cell reproducible smear. Thanks to its scant cellular smear and mucus detection systems, IDC20`s smear process repeat rate is less than 2%, making it one of the most robust machines on the market.
- Full traceability from bottle to slide
- First step towards NF EN 15189
- Homogeneous and reproducible spots due to fully automated smear process
- Mono-cell spots as a result of turbidity reading
- No cross-contamination (use of disposable tips)
- Compatible with various commercially available specimen bottles
- 20 bottle batch
- 100% French design and manufacture
Do I need specialist staff to use the machine ?
No. Your technician only requires one hour of training.
The machine can be controlled via a touch screen with a simple interface.
What about security ?
The use of disposable tips prevents and cross-contamination.
A bar-code sample management system prevents the risk of human error.
The automatic system is an essential element in your NF EN 15189 certification.
What if HPV becomes the primary test ?
The machine architecture and our flexible contracts mean that this issue can be addressed as from now.
How does the machine work ?
- The samples and slides are identified and loaded on the machine.
- A gradient liquid is placed on the slides.
- After the bar code has been checked, IDC20 uses a disposable tip to take a 1 ml sample and determine its cell density.
- It places the required quantity on the slide.
- An initial centrifuge is engaged to smear the cells on to the slides. The gradient liquid is used to eliminate some of the undesirable elements (red corpuscles, dust, mucus, etc.).
- Once the supernatant has been evacuated, a second faster centrifuge process is engaged to fix the cells and dry the slide.
- The slides removed from the machine are ready for staining.
