Cyto centrifuges

What's the role of cytocentrifugation in clinical medicine and biological research?

The cytocentrifuge, sometimes referred to as a cytospin, can be used to transfer any sedimentable particles from a liquid suspension onto a microscope slide. Cytology centrifugation is primarily used to transfer biological cells for staining and microscopic morphological examination.
Cytodiagnostics are performed on specimens such as cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, urine, fine needle aspirates, and a variety of body fluid and lavage samples.
Flexible and robust centrifuges developed by Sigma offer various rotors and accessories for cytology and are also compatible with popular cytocentrifuge accessories currently on the market, i.e., RESOPSIN® or Shandon™ cytology clips.

Sigma 2-7 Cyto, RESOSPIN® configuration, laboratory benchtop centrifuge
Reference : SIG-1022801

This cytocentrifuge configuration, SIGMA 2-7 Cyto RESOSPIN® configuration, includes:
- rotor no. 11260,
- 12 clips no. 13260,
- 50 single-use funnel no. 15260

The Sigma 2‑7 Cyto combines the highlights of the Sigma 2‑7 laboratory centrifuge with state-of-the-art cytology centrifugation. This compact centrifuge excels in cytology labs with its perfectly matched accessories for the gentle and quiet depositing of cells on specimen slides and the possibility of repurposing the centrifuge for cell harvesting or processing of blood collection tubes. Along with saving space in the lab, this is a boon in economic terms.

It is ideal for gentle centrifugation in cytology labs to transfer cells to specimen slides for morphological assessment under the microscope. Cytodiagnostics, in which cells from bodily fluids or organs are subjected to microscopic examination to detect malignant cell changes, for example as part of cancer treatment, is a crucial application area for the Sigma 2‑7 Cyto.
