    Citofem

    Citofem is a Liquid cytology diagnostic system that can be used for a wide variety of cytology specimens. It’s a newly developed Liquid-Based Cytology system that has an optimal combination of single-layer cell presentation, slide adhesion and cell preservation thus allowing for effective visualization. It’s a product of bioDIS
    Citofem is a Liquid-Based Cytology pap smear kit used as a replacement for the conventional method of Pap smear preparation for use in screening for the presence of a typical cervical cancer cells
    Including its precursor lesions (low-grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions and high-grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions), as well as all other cytologic categories as defined by The Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical / Vaginal Cytologic diagnoses

    Citofem ® Capabilities

    1. 100% of the collected sample is sent to the laboratory for testing.
    2. The cells are presented in a laminar, or sheet-like fashion, aiding in the examination and diagnosis by pathologist
    3. Well-fixed, highly cellular thin layer sample allows for effective analysis.
    4. A single sample can provide multiple tests per patient including molecular testing utilizing any of the FDA approved tests.
    5. Can be utilized for all cytology purposes, including sputum; urine; pleural; bronchial washing; penile; synovial; cerebrospinal; and other fine needle aspirates of thyroid, breast, lung, CSF, salivary glands, lymph nodes, bone marrow, and other asked for cytologies
    6. Fast processing can be scaled for efficiency.
    7. Formulation is based on years of research and development. Patent pending.

    Benefits

    • It requires no expensive processing equipment.
    • Processed in less time than other brands of liquid cytology.
    • Increased recovery of endocervical cells in the patient specimen.
    • Increases the number of slides that can be mounted.
    • Pathologist and cytotechnologist will enjoy a quicker and more efficient diagnostics.

    Citofem ® kit

    Citofem system is an internationally patented method of processing Pap tests. It is the first and only liquid cytology based Pap test in the world that requires no Xylene in processing. It uses the best brush for cervical cell collection in the world: The Rovers® Cervex-Brush® Combi. No expensive lab equipment required for processing and the price is comparable to the Pap smear.

    The Sampling Device

    The Roversre® Cervex-Brush® Combi will collect both Ectocervical and Endocervical cells from patients. The Rovers® Cervex-Brush® Combi is a newly patented, high tech product capable of delivering higher cellular yield of endocervical cells than the traditional Rovers® Cervex-Brush® . Laboratory tests have also indicated an increased viral load in the collected cell material. The Rovers® Cervex-Brush® Combi was developed for two main reasons: Easy and effective application of the device. Improved endocervical sampling.

    A Two in one brush
