Provides Excellent Presentation

The cytocentrifuge deposits cells onto a clearly defined area of a glass

slide and allows for the absorption of the residual fluid into the sample
chamber's filter card
Cytocentrifugation constructively flattens cells for excellent nuclear
presentation
During operation, the instrument's spinning action tilts the Shandon
Cytofunnels upright and centrifuges cells onto the deposition area of
the slide, giving all cell types equal opportunity for presentation
In the Load or Stop position, the tilting feature reduces cell loss by
preventing residual fluid from coming into contact with the prepared
slide

Pull-out program card logs up to nine programs for fast, convenient

retrieval
Protected program memory stores up to 23 routines for instant recall
