    Summary

    Ready-to-use slides (Testsimplets) offer a quick method for intraoperative cytology. While not replacing standard techniques, they provide interpretable slides from tumors, saving valuable time in surgical pathology.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Pathology
    • Cytotechnology
    • Histology

    Background:

    • Intraoperative consultations require rapid diagnostic methods.
    • Traditional techniques like frozen sections can be time-consuming.
    • Standard cytology preparation methods may not be ideal for immediate intraoperative assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of stain-coated, ready-to-use slides (Testsimplets) for intraoperative imprint-cytology.
    • To assess the feasibility of using Testsimplets for routine intraoperative staining.
    • To determine the time-saving potential of this method.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized stain-coated, ready-to-use slides (Testsimplets) for imprint-cytology preparations.
    • Prepared and evaluated microscopic slides immediately.
    • Applied paraffin to cover glass for slide preservation up to one week.

    Main Results:

    • Microscopic preparations were easily and quickly prepared.
    • Interpretable slides were obtained from cell-rich benign and malignant tumors.
    • Slides retained acceptable quality for up to a week with preservation.

    Conclusions:

    • Testsimplets are suitable for routine staining of intraoperative imprint-cytology.
    • This method offers a time-saving alternative, though not a complete substitute for fast-section techniques.
    • The technique yields interpretable results for various tumor types.
