    A novel immersible rotor device effectively disaggregates cytology specimens. This new rotor shows comparable results to automated syringing for both normal and abnormal cervical samples.

    Area of Science:

    • Cytopathology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Medical Device Technology

    Background:

    • Effective disaggregation of cytology specimens is crucial for accurate diagnostic analysis.
    • Current methods, such as automated syringing, are established but may have limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a new immersible rotor device for disaggregating cytology specimens in suspension.
    • To compare the performance of the novel rotor device against an existing automated syringing apparatus.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel immersible rotor device was developed for specimen disaggregation.
    • Cervical cytology samples were processed using both the new rotor device and an automated syringing apparatus.
    • Specimen disaggregation efficacy was assessed by comparing results from both methods.

    Main Results:

    • The immersible rotor device demonstrated effective disaggregation of cytology specimens.
    • No significant differences in results were observed between the new rotor device and the automated syringing apparatus.
    • Both normal and abnormal cervical specimens yielded similar outcomes with either device.

    Conclusions:

    • The immersible rotor device is a viable alternative for cytology specimen disaggregation.
    • This new device offers comparable performance to automated syringing, potentially improving laboratory workflows.
    • Further studies may explore broader applications and cost-effectiveness.
