    摘要: The present disclosure describes a method of treating a sample comprising cells with a process of partial lysing. Cells are exposed to a process such as bead beating that lyses some cells in the mixture. The process generates a resultant sample mixture that is suitable for both cell morphology screening and genetic screening. A first portion of the partially lysed sample can be mounted on a slide and observed for atypical cells and cytologic abnormalities. A second portion of the partially lysed sample can be screened for genetic markers known to correlate with a risk of cervical cancer. The method is particularly useful for cervical screening, where a combination of cytology and genetic screening present a more complete picture of cervical health. The disclosed method streamlines the diagnostic process for protocols that require both types of assays, without compromising screening accuracy.

    摘要: Systems and methods of use to facilitate classification of cytological specimens are discussed. The system acquires or imports image data of a cytological specimen. The imported image data may include, or the system may otherwise perform an image analysis to identify one or more objects of interest in a respective specimen image dataset, including feature attributes for the identified objects. The system analyzes the feature attributes by predetermined criteria and/or optionally with user inputted criteria. The system includes an analysis tool that assists the user in identifying cytologically abnormal objects, if present in a particular specimen, by manipulating and viewing images of objects selected as a function of feature attributes. More generally, the analysis tool aides the user to find, extract, and display abnormal objects from within a large dataset of images and facilitates navigation through large amounts of image data and enables the efficient classification of the entire specimen.

    摘要: The invention provides a device, system and method for sample collection wherein a sample can be separated into multiple portions of sample at the site of collection. The separation of portions of sample occurs by separating parts of the specimen collection device. Each of the separable parts contacting a portion of sample can be deposited into separate vessels. The device reduces the risk of sample contamination, because the separable parts can be separated by the action of a release mechanism that allows a user to separate the parts without touching or otherwise contacting the sample collecting region. The release mechanism may be trigger-activated to expel a separable part of the device.
