    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Cervical cell analysis often involves processing cell suspensions.
    • Cellular clusters can impede accurate analysis in flow systems.
    • Effective disaggregation techniques are crucial for reliable cytologic preparations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a novel cluster disaggregation technique for cervical cells.
    • To assess the efficacy of ultrasound in breaking down cell clusters.
    • To determine the suitability of ultrasound-treated preparations for flow system analysis.

    Main Methods:

    • A cluster disaggregation technique was developed.
    • The technique was applied to cervical cells in suspension.
    • Ultrasound energy conditions were controlled during the process.

    Main Results:

    • The developed technique successfully disaggregated cervical cell clusters.
    • Preliminary results confirmed ultrasound's capability for controlled cluster disaggregation.
    • The cytologic quality of the resulting cell preparations was adequate.

    Conclusions:

    • Ultrasound-mediated cluster disaggregation is a viable method for cervical cell suspensions.
    • This technique provides adequate cytologic quality for flow system analysis.
    • The method holds potential for improving cell analysis workflows.
